socket size for stabilizer jack

[Flyfisher70!]

Can anyone tell me the correct size socket to purchase so that I can raise and lower my stabilizer jacks on my 21C.

3/4" or 19 mm says the husband

Thank you!! To both you and "the husband" (o;

If you're going to use an electric drill to raise and lower them stay away from impact drills. Not only are they a nuisance to others but they can mask the need to service the stabilizers.

The lead screw can get caked with road grime and grit. An impact drill will make them operate alright but masks the need for cleaning the lead screw.

Oh, and be prepared for a bunch of folks to jump in and say that they use an impact drill without any problem.

I use a regular drill with adapter, much quieter than an impact.

I usually do them manually, but if it's wicked hot and I have one around, I'll use a drill for the middle portion.

Start and finish by hand for me.

I carry a cordless drill, but do stabilizers by hand. It’s just easy to do. Maybe when I’m 75 I’ll change my mind.

Or not.

I've pretty well stopped using a drill, especially since I installed a front electric tongue jack.

The ball bearing handle makes the manual crank much more civilized and easier on the hand.

I am 75 and never use a drill; always crank stabilizers by hand. I like the “feel” of knowing how tight they are and knowing I have not applied any “lift,” just stabilization. Then again, my 5.0 TA only has stabilizers in the rear, only two to deal with.

The stabilizers are not much of a job. We use the crank and Rita sets the contact pressure where she wants it. The stretching and rotation actions needed are good for us as we conscientiously try to maintain flexibility.

Exact same with us, Dave. Any physical effort is welcome.

Accessories for that purpose are widely and cheaply available both online and at RV dealer parts departments.

Look for something like this.



Of course, a 3/4" or 19mm socket will also work if that's what you prefer.

yeah, thats exactly what I use, on my ryobi non-impact drill-driver, set to its low speed mode.
