Insert the spout of the oil can into the cylinder oil fill hole. Add oil to the hydraulic cylinder by squeezing the trigger on the oil can. If the cylinder is very low, or if you had to drain it for seal repair, you may have to refill your oil can several times, depending on the...
Torin produces several jacks that range from 2- to 50-ton capacity. Troubleshooting these jacks is no different than troubleshooting any standard bottle jack, or any floor jack, for that matter. This is because the basic principle of hydraulic jacks is the same regardless of what kind of jack...
The brake master cylinder is the most important part of the brake system and is used to pressurize the hydraulic brake caliper and wheel cylinders which apply pressure to the brake pads and shoes to help stop the car. When this part fails it must be replaced promptly to avoid brake system ...
Start by placing your GX470 on flat level ground to ensure good draining and proper refill.Tip: clean the axle housing with soapy water and a scrub brush to remove the road and trail gunk. This will prevent any dirt from falling in to the differential while changing the oil. Remove the ...
ensuring the air pressure remains at the correct level. Since a main advantage of air-brakes systems is their ability to use air to operate, the compressor is constantly kicking on and kicking off to refill the reservoirs with pressurized air. When the compressor builds too much air, the valv...
Place the vehicle on a solid surface such as a garage floor or driveway. Raise the vehicle with a jack and place jack stands to support the vehicle safely, as you will need to be under it for the draining, flushing, and bleeding processes. Gather the necessary tools and equipment (bleede...
