On my RV the "Book" says to replace the rear leveling jacks ... Drop the gas tank.
Well, not wishing to do that I managed to get the old brackets off, Got new grade 8 bolts in 2 of the holes (NOTE these holes are inside a channel no way to reach 'em so I used a wrench and a bit of adheasive (Dried) to jam the bolt head in the wrench, a handy dandy borscope or endoscope helped me line up one bolt, got lucky on the other.. They are there to stay. The other two will be easier as I can "Finger" those holes.
THen I found.. The Jack Viosone RV sold me... DOES NOT FIT.
So I nutted the bolts down with double lock washers till I can either get the proper jack or adapt-a-jack.. OH well. The hard part (insertng those first two bolts) is done at least.. PUt about 100 foot pounds on the nuts so they won't wander off.
