That was quite helpful... Thanks!

Ok, now the jack is working "crappy" like it used to work, instead of "not 
at all" like it was prior to bleeding.

This jack has two plunger/piston things on it, presumably to enable the 
fast rise.

I like the fast rise, but when there's some weight on the thing it seems 
like most of my stroke is going into make the jack make some noise, then 
the last little bit it raises the car a touch.  So its like a ton of pumps 
to raise the car.

Is that normal for a fast raise jack?

Any suggestions?

I bought the thing as Sam's club a year or two ago.  So "take it back" 
doesn't really work, since I dunno where the receipt is.  I'm not really 
even sure where the manual is.

Mark
