Mine needed oil followed by bleedintg to make it work.

One word of caution - the lifting cup is not very strong at the edges. Mine is broken (I let someone else change tires with it....) The load should always be roughly on the center of the cup, where it's supported. I use a hockey puck as a lifting pad to both avoid damaging the subframe AND distribute the load on the aluminum cup.

I keep intending to shave the puck down a little and just glue it in.

Good info Sean, I hadn't considered that. I wonder if we can swap a steel lifting cup from another jack into it? I'll pay the 10 ounce penalty for the extra strength.

With coupon in hand, I hit the local Harbor Freight retail store this morning about 9am ...

I handed the clerk the coupon and said ... "Gimme one of dem, pleez."

In a jiffy, another clerk shuttled one to the front and she aksed how much the coupon said. I told her "$59"

She said, this store has them on sale today and tomorrow for $55 ...

WooHoo!

Thanks Tom for the heads up ...
