How to Bleed a Car Jack
If you experience a problem with your car’s jack, here is how to bleed the system.
1. Park the car so that the wheel is facing uphill.
2. Locate the car’s emergency brake handle.
3. Push down on the emergency brake handle and open the door as far as it will go.
4. Position a bucket between the wheel and the jack and turn the wheel so that it points away from the jack.
5. To bleed the system, remove the cap from the jack’s hose nipple and insert the hose into one of the car’s wheel wells.
6. Turn on the water flow by depressing the valve on top of the hose nipple until it bleeds freely (approximately 12 gallons per minute).
7. Close both valves on top of the hose nipple and replace the cap on the jack’s hose nipple.
8. Return to your vehicle and place it in drive (if possible).
9. Raise and lower each tire several times to circulate air in and out of the system, then re-attach your jack and move to another tire.

Next, locate the bleed plug on the side of the jack. This is a small screw-type cylinder that’s usually located near the base of the shaft. Use a wrench to remove the plug (be careful not to lose it!), and then start unscrewing the shaft. As you do this, be sure to keep an eye on the pressure gauge on the side of your jack. If it starts coming down too quickly, stop and re-inflate your jack before proceeding.
When you’ve unscrewed the shaft all the way, you’ll see two rubber hoses connected at either end. Remove these hoses by pressing firmly on one end and pulling straight outwards. Be careful not to kink or damage them; they’ll need to be able to
