Looks like I will need to replace a badly leaking right front jack on my Journey. Looking at it today, looks like once the hydraulic line on top is disconnected and the springs are removed, all you need to do is remove the two bolts at the bottom and the jack comes out.

Anyone done this on a Journey? Any helpful suggestions?

Gary,

Geechee has a post date August 2005 and lists the complete steps to replacing jacks and Driver explains how to install the new springs that can not be done by hand.
