How do you rebuild a hydraulic jack? Where can you get parts or and a diagram? I inherited a really nice one but it stopped pumping and I hate to get rid of it because of that.

Are you sure it's not just low on oil?

Where did the oil go? There was no signs of leakage.

I don't know. My psychic powers are a little sketchy right now, probably the low cloud cover.:hammer:
There should be a small plug somewhere on the ram body. Check to see if it is low, if it is top off, if not, you probably blew a seal internally. Without a mfr, it's hard to tell you where to look for diagrams and parts list. If you had a shop locally that deals with hydraulics, they should be able to help you.
