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
