my Georgetown 373 jacks are down and been trying for 2 days to get the air out of my Lippert System w/solenoid and retract the levellers. I have all the power system disconnected from the solenoids, valves and motor.I have a leaking hyd pump seal that seeped/leaked all winter and when started up the motorhome this spring the jacks went down. I can't get them up manually with a drill. Appropriate valves are turned to override. The MH weight did come off when started to retract the jacks in pairs but will not retract off of the ground.
What do I have to do now to get them up so I can move the motor home to a hydraulic facility for the removal of the whole system and replace the pump seal and install a new motor.
can you slack off the hoses at the jacks and use a lever to lift up the jacks from ground level. should only have to do one at the front and one at the back. I do not have Lippert on my rig, they are equalizer, and when I lost all the fluid they were self priming.

My lippert is suppose to be self primed too but will have to function them 2 or 3 times to get them completely free of air according to the lippert documents I've read. If all else fails then that is what I'll do. I'm disabled so will have to disconnect at the hydraulic manifold instead of getting underneath the MH. If that will work.
Jacks are down, air in system, won't retract
