[Rhodes22-list] trailer jack

[ed kroposki]

Bruce:
	Go to Northern Tool -- exact replacement at least cost.  I tried to
take one apart.  You get to the part where you need two flat box wrenches to
loosen a double bolted fastener.  I did not have two 3/4 flat box wrenches
that were thin enough for the job.  My frozen part is still inside that
section.
	It is a good thing you reminded me.  The instructions that came with
the new said keep well lubricated.  I guess we found out why.

It's not worst the troble to try and save it.  I would
just buy a new one.  Beside, my experience with stuff
like this, even if you got it to work; when you really
need it - that when it will stop for good.
