I'd bet on the casters. None of my hydraulic jacks has anything resembling
a ball bearing inside of it. However, I s'pose it _might_ be part of the
valve mechanism. Put it back together, if it works then the ball bearing
wasn't important anyway <g>

I just run them through the full stroke a few times. A little air in the
cylinder won't really hurt anyway, it will just compress to whatever
pressure it takes to lift whatever you're jacking up.
