Happy weekend, chaps.
After some advice. Since I (along with others - @moonbase @John) bought a Venture ball screw jack to replace the crappy SuperPooperJacks, I haven't serviced it. At least not the worm part.
In an acme-type jack, it would a simple-ish matter of removing the base unit, pushing the worm out and greasing it all up. Some have a nipple thing to shove some grease in as well.
With this one, I am reluctant to start taking apart in case all the bearing spill out and scatter all over the garage. It certainly needs greasing up as it's making rusty sounding noises, especially on extension operation...
Any tips?
