One of my stab jack's threaded rod is bent enough to be a PITA and all 4 have the hole and 90* bent rod for rotating. The assembly has retaining clips so it would seem that it can be taken apart. Is there a way to replace all 4 threaded rods? The jacks themselves appear to be welded to the frame so swapping the whole units would be less than fun.
Thanks for any help.

Easier to just replace the whole issue.

They're on sale here.

The old ones can be cut off and replaced quite easily by a regular welding shop. Doesn't require an 'RV' tech.

I got a cheap grinder from harbor freight and ground them off, and drilled out the frame for bolts. and now when I bend one, changing it is easy.

That's sounds like what I'll have to do, blackestate. Sure more will get dinked over the years.
