I have a 3.5 ton sams club Michelin floor jack , it needed fluid and
when i took out the refill plug , the spring and crome balls came
out , i picked up the parts and there were 2 balls ( big and small ) ,
i can Not find any info on the web about these , the Question is , IS
there 2 balls or is there only ment to be 1 ??? and what order do they
go back in ?
thx

That wasn't the fill plug. That was the pump valve.

Small valve to bottom large ball on top. The spring usually goes between
them.

Heavier jacks may have 2 ball bearings that are actually check valves, and sit
