Yep, actually I already did. But before doing that I had attempted
to fix it and was disappointed when I couldn't figure it out. Till
last night when a cracked it open. Incidentally took a monkey wrench
and a propane torch to get the top off and I really had to lean into
it.

You might be right though that any replacement part would just fail
again... Just seems wrong though to toss a 5 lb chunk of metal into
the garbage can.

Most people just replace the jack ~$80/$90 or so and not waste time
messing around. Unfortuantely Cobra uses junk jacks and will likely
fail in a few years again.

Williams Soaring should have them.
