Leaky floor jack

10+yr. old 2 1/4 floor jack is leaking at the piston, I pulled it and it looks like flat sided seals in the bore. Are these just smashed O rings I can dig out and replace or are they special hydraulic shop stuff? I think its a Chinese jack, its labeled Indy 5.

No they should be o rings that might be worn but if it is China inc no telling what might be in there.

If it is 10 plus years perhaps time to think of a new one.

I paid about $150.00 to have a 3 ton jack rebuilt this spring to give you an idea.

Without the parts dimensions I wasn`t about to try and do it myself it is me or my vehicles that could be broke if it failed at the wrong time
