The jack is easily replaceable. Usually just 3 bolts, and 1 wire for an electric.

Usually not hard to repalce. If you are replacing it anyway, I'd go electric.

Yeah, you won't regret that. Electric is the way to go. I backed into mine one dark and stormy night (errrr...I wasn't paying attention). I got away with just replacing the motor, but what a pain.
