Aluminum jack rebuild? Repair?

Has anyone had to tear apart an aluminum race jack to rebuild, repair it?
I think I have a seal issue or something. It still pumps up, but it used to pump up the rear of my car with maybe 6 pumps. Now it's more like twenty little half pumps.
I don't know what I'm going with it. I'll be honest, I'm scared to tear it apart. Any insight would be helpful.
Thank you!

Have you tried bleeding it? Any place that repairs hydraulic cylinders should be able to it

Make sure it is full of jack oil.
