Are Replacement Parts Available For Welded On Trailer Jacks To Avoid Having To Remove Them

Question:

The telescoping Trailer jack on my popup trailer is damaged. Is it possible to buy a new one and install the parts below the part that attaches to the hitch? I am asking because the original jack is welded to the trailer. Thanks for you help,

It's really going to depend on the specific jack if there's the possibility that parts on it can be replaced or if there are even any replacement parts available. For the majority of jacks there will not be replacement parts available and you would need to cut/angle grind the old jack off of the frame and install a new one. The etrailer Stabilizer Jack # TJ01RT you were looking at for example, does not have any replacement parts and would a total replacement.

If you're referring to a trailer tongue jack then you would likely only be able to replace a drop leg that's held in place with a pin.
