What's wrong with the jack? working hard? if so?
You can take it apart/ clean it/ grease it/ good as new.
Go to You tube, there are videos on how to do it.
I did mine after years of fighting with it.
took around 30 minutes to do, I did not have to take the jack off the trailer, just rotate it up. Jack it up high, put a block under the tongue, jack it down.
mainly wanted a bigger wheel on the jack to roll better in the garage
it sat outside for 20 years. still works good, just all rusted

Got a picture? Sometimes there is a snap ring.
If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
nothing else matters.
The bracket is welded on but all the swivel mounts I've seen the jack is removable.
Like CatFan said some have a snap, ring some have a nut.
On most jacks it's also possible to change the wheel only. How big you go depends on the bracket.. Harbor frt and some hardware stores have an assortment of wheels.
Good luck
cut the welds and replace with a bolt on version, it isn't very hard to do with a cutting wheel on a grinder or a cutting torch
THE MORE YOU SAY THE MORE WE UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT YOU ANYWAYS
^^ WHY ??^^
mine has main bracket welded t the trailer but you can still unbolt the jack part with the center pivot bolt? you likely have same center, pivot bolt???

Picture is worth a thousand words..
Hopefully the OP's is a swivel jack. if not my suggestion would be get one.
I'll take a pic now. Hope I can post it
can I use the insert image button on the tool bar? Reason I'm asking is I tried that once but people could not see the pic
thanks

Cant tell for positive.. There should be a lock ring around that 2" tube that the jack swivels on.. Pop it off and the jack should come straight out.
thanks guys, will give it a go. Is it an option to bolt a new one on without using the snap ring?
