Default Repairing a Hydraulic trolley jack??

Ive just had some cheeky b****** steal my trolley jack and professional tool kit from my garage. Not a happy man!

However i still have a couple of halfrauds trolley jacks available which arent raising. Does anyone know of a way to repair a trolley jack or are their days numbered?

Strange question i know but interesting nonetheless.

Have they got hydraulic oil in?

One of our old one leaked oil, but would jack fine once it had been topped up. (Until I broke it by doing something it wasn't designed for! )

Sorry to hear about the thieving, I would be bereft if I lost my tools, had them for a very long time.

I have got a Halfords trolley jack, still going well after a good few years. Maybe a hydraulic fluid top up might do the trick as mentioned. Make sure you get the correct oil though.
