Finally had my 1970's Sears floor jack rebuilt. Unfortunately I removed the handle while disassembly the jack for repair. I see now that the handle did not need to removed. Now I cannot see how this spring is to be installed. The spring is supposed to help hold the handle in the up position. Any ideas?
Ok, finally got that danged spring installed. Unlike what is shown on youtube, I could not push that spring in, rotate the ends and insert the pivot bolt with only two hands. So I built the following rig which worked. and success!
Good job! That looks like some of the "interesting" things I do to complete tasks with just one arm....
