Lippert Hydraulic Leveling Jack Footpad

[salukee]

While inspecting a new tank heater install, I noticed that my driver's side rear jack footpad was bent. Not sure what happened but I need to remove it for replacement/repair.

While attempting to remove the bolt that holds the footpad onto the jack shaft, I noticed I was not getting anywhere, and that the tightness never seemed to lighten up. I lowered the pad a bit and saw that the jack shaft spins when I attempt to remove the bolt. Any tips on getting that bolt out? Strap wrench? Tricks of the trade?

Use an impact wrench

Let us know how you finally get it off, cause I will need to do the same soon..

Impact wrench worked fine.

A bit of a delay due to parts just arrived yesterday and I did not have enough clearance to use my pneumatic. I borrowed a cordless impact and backed my rig off my driveway where there was a bit of a slope. Once the rig was positioned, it took me two minutes to get the old one removed and have the new one installed.

Thanks for the recommendation/direction.
