[VAC] Re: jack replacement

["Tuna" <rctowns@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the Bucket O' Bolts is going to be stationary during the whole
renovation, you may want to put it 'up on blocks' anyway... locate four
points on the frame (two forward of the axle, two aft) and jack the whole
trailer up so that the tires are just barely touching the ground. Get
yourself a 2000lb floor jack (harbor freight, or pep boys, wal-mart, etc...
about $60.00) and some more of those cinder blocks, too.

If you want to keep the wheels on the ground, though, you ought to be using
wheel chocks... the curved/wedge-shaped things... They'll keep the trailer
from rolling. I like to chock the wheels front and back, too... unless it's
a twin axle - then the chocks go between the tires...
