Hydraulic Jack Stantion Spring

[Larry Maida]

Hi All so some how one of my retraction springs came off one of the rear stantions. I found it on the ground under the coach. I have no idea how it came off or for that matter how to reinstall it. Do I need a spring spreader?

You can bend the spring and put wedges in between the coils until you get enough length to put it back on then just lower the jack and they will fall out. At least that's how I have done when I replaced the springs in a previous m/h. I'd be looking for why it came off though, usually they are tough to get off unless they are really wore out.

Ok thanks Craig
