'corner steady's' - DM T@Bs

Geo

If your corner steady's (leveling jacks) are squeaky, squawking, grinding, growling, gritty, or otherwise hard to lower and raise you may have a worm block nut issue.  Mine only made some noise - not excessive - but still fell apart during recent use. 

New worm block nut next to old damaged one.

 

Lubricating the corner steady's with every use is highly advisable, the pivot points (all four) as well as the worm drive rod.

Thanks to @Mouseketab for having the link to purchase the replacement worm block nuts.

CAUTION - do not use an impact type drill to raise and lower your corner steady's, excessive force may cause damage.
A regular cordless drill at slow speed should be OK.
I always used the included hand crank and still ended up with destroyed worm block nuts, beware of excessive force ! ! !
