This video will show you the most common way to repair a floor jack that is leaking fluid and thus won't lift. I am repairing a 3-ton floor jack, but most jacks are built similar. The O-ring location may be on the male or female side of the piston and the bleeding procedure should be in your owner's manual or you can do as shown in the video.
