How to disassemble a trailer jack

The trailer jack is known as a universal tool for towing because it can be used to tow when the vehicle is obstructed or damaged. The use of trailer jacks is very convenient and does not require significant force or special skills. However, its uninstallation handling is also very important, as careless uninstallation may lead to accidents and other damages. Therefore, when dismantling the trailer jack, we need to take some measures to ensure safety.

Firstly, what we need to do is confirm whether the compression spring of the trailer jack has been depressurized. When dismantling the trailer jack, the force of the spring is an aspect that we need to pay special attention to. If the spring is still in a compressed state, it is difficult for the jack to move and unload, and there is considerable danger because under incorrect usage conditions, the spring may release strong and uncontrolled force, causing injury.

Secondly, we should place the wheels in a safe position. People who frequently use trailer jacks know that when the jack is suspended under the vehicle, the vehicle will continue to tilt upwards. At this point, we need to clamp the wheels in a non sliding area to ensure the safety of the vehicle.

Next, we need to find the release button for the jack, which is usually located on the top or side of the jack. Press the release button and slowly release the pressure from the spring, allowing the trailer jack rod to slide easily. During the sliding process of the rod, make sure that the hand position is not too close to the jack to avoid getting stuck.
