how to Change Front Landing Jacks

[BigDawg99]

we have an 05 yellowstone 5th wheel camper that we just inherited from my inlaws...would anyone have a how-to..or steps to changing one of the front landing jacks..one of our front landing jacks does not retract or extract..we purchased a new one but they didnt have time to install it at the dealers..

This is my first post on the site..i plan on returning to the site many times for all my Rv Needs...thanks

Not being sure of the construction on your particular trailer, it usually comes down to "how to get the trailer high enough in front to drop the old jack down and out." If raising the front won't do it, you need a hole in the ground under each jack--I have read of several who have done this job and that is the hardest part: having enough room UNDER the jack to drop it straight down to clear the floor of the trailer.
The rest of it should be straigtforward mechanical work.
Good luck.
