Pedro54 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hi, Look up your local Bearing supplier, they may do seals. If you have removed the seals already take them along as samples. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hi Robin, when you go to a seal supplier DO state it is for a trolley jack. I think they use mineral oil and will quickly kill ordinary automotive seals (for DOT4 etc) Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I serviced my Sealey trolley jack a while ago, most (if not all) of the seals were 'O' rings, & I was able to replace from my accumulated stock ! Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ian Vincent Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) There is a company in Manchester who used to offer the seals for these small trolley acks. I'll see if I can find their details. Rgds Ian Found it. The Company was called HTS and I dealt with someone called Barry - his email address was barryw@hts-ltd.co.uk The seal I bought was 12mm o/d and 6mm I/d and 6mm thick Rgds Ian Edited October 2, 2018 by Ian Vincent Additional info plus a typo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David B2 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 forget the repair, buy a replacement from SGS Engineering. I bought a 3 Ton jack from them recently for my latest restoration. Compared with my old 2 Ton its really heavy duty. Fantastic bit of kit, would lift a tank. They do Ally lightweight ones as well. Next day free delivery. Marvellous company to deal with.

Replaced with seals from Pirtec lasted a few months. I can't bring myself to throw it away as its light and would be good to keep in the boot if your touring anywhere as its so light.

Steves_TR6 Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Funny to find this old thread as i’m just looking at the internals of my ctj1250A trolley jack which started leaking on monday. the main / big piston seals appear to measure 26mm id x 2.5 thick does that sound right Bob? and do i need ‘special’ seals for a jack or just regular o-rings ( i have a large selection of those!) steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Can't comment on the size without dismantling mine ! but as long as the rubber is resistant to oil degredation e.g. viton should be fine. Mine is still leak free. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Thanks Bob, have ordered some and will report back :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
