        I want to get back with information on the floorjack with the enormous
nut.  Charlie Driggs took one look at it and said he had a hexagonal pipe wrench
that would do the job. So I showed up at his house a couple of days later and he
produced a pipe wrench that looked like a slip-jaw pliers.  I was quietly
skeptical.  I was thinking that this was a job for a loooong handled tool.  A
minute later I was elated, it worked like a charm.  I can report now that the
project was an enormous success.  All the seals have been replaced and my
oldtool hydraulic floor jack is again as strong as bull, and does not leak.
