Expert Reply:
You have the second jack connected backwards most likely. You'll need to rotate the jack leg 180 degrees so that when the shaft of it turns it will work in the same direction as the lead leg.

Do I remove and rotate the leg as in jack trailer up n crank it out till it separates or do I unbolt who leg and rotate leg itself as a whole unit? I feel like I can't rotate whole unit bc mine doesn't have outspline shafts for gear box and connecting rod on both sides?
