2017 Greyhawk 31FS equalizer jacks repositioned
I did all four jacks today, and was able to get them all up one additional inch on the frame. The fronts won't go any higher cause the top of the jack hits the body, and the rears can't go any higher cause the bolts are welded to the brackets and there are no more holes in the receiving jack. Tools used was a 3/4 wrench, 3/4 gear wrench, and 3/8 breaker bar. The front bolts were not that tight, but the rears we're much tighter, and the breaker bar came in handy. It's a simple mechanical job. The front bolts pop right out but the rear bolts are welded. One additional issue was one of the hydraulic lines runs too close to one of the bolts, so I used a cutoff wheel to remove about a 1/2 inch of bolt. The nut still 100% engaged so no problem. So I started with 5 inches of clearance and ended up with 6. Would have been nice to have 7 so I'll still be plenty careful. Anyone who can turn a wrench can do this job.
