Bought a used early Bronco bottle jack off Ebay. Appears to be the real item, but no hydraulic oil (apparently). Piston is stuck in down position and will not lift with clockwise rotation of crank. Looked at Youtube on how to add oil and bleed bottle jack. Problem is no fill hole I can see on this jack.
Solution? Drill and tap a hole and add oil and seal with threaded plug?
If so, wider portion of lower body near the top or narrower part near the piston so I get the oil level correct.
Or is there a trick I don't know to add oil to original Bronco bottle jack?
Thanks for any help.
