Levelers
Do the the 4 EtI levelers have for lack of a better word have locks or hold backs on them. Put my small drill motor to it and it wouldn't budge .

They are stabilizers, not levelers.
Try going the wrong way first. For some reason mine will do that and a slight turn the wrong way seems to unlock it. They don't always do it so I don't think it is design, but I could be wrong.

Makes me wonder when retracting scissor stabilizers with a drill when do you stop? My previous trailer had power stabilizer, trailers before that had extending stabilizers, never the scissor type.. Guessing you don’t want to go to tight.

Try using the manual jack/stabilizer wrench, works every time........

Lithium grease on the threads maybe ? I use a low power 12 volt drill and set the clutch so it engages when the stabilizers hit the blocks I use.

I would advise lubrication but not grease. I would use a product like Tri-flow on a couple times a year basis. Road dirt and grime doesn’t seem to Stick in the threads like it does
If they are greased. YMMV
Personally I use the hand crank, it’s part of my exercise routine along with 12 ounce curls.

Mine do not seem to go all the way up. On the 15 they came up to nearly level. Is there some setting for that? I"ll have to get a picture and see if they are normal.
