I have the 12k spring loaded jack on my gooseneck that i am having problems with, I started to get hard to crank.  NOw i can't crank it all.  I greased the gears this year.  The gears look ok.  Looking for a resolution to fix it before I have to buy a new one.  I bought the trailer used and its a 93' soft touch gooseneck.

Thank you :)

Location: North Carolina		The gears are only one part.  There is a screw (that the gears turn) and nut inside the leg.  You'll have to extend the jack till you see a hole through the leg to the screw.  Look at the side of the stationary part of the leg.  There is a hole that is blocked by the moving part of the leg.  Extend the leg till the holes align.  Then oil the screw.
