In this video we go over how you can fabricate a replacement circular rubber jack stand pad for the automotive ESCO 3 ton jack stands yourself. The tools, products, and approach shown can be applied to any of the ESCO jack stands of this style such as the 10498 or 10499 shorty (shown), or any other brands of jack stands using a similar rubber circular saddle cushion pad. The premature failure of these rubber saddle pads is quite common when having to use this style of jack stand on vehicles with a pinch weld jack point. The rubber pad is a sacrificial part, to protect the paint or undercoating on the pinch weld to prevent corrosion from setting in. But it should hold up far longer than it does. The original pad we will be fabricating is the ESCO 10490, but we will be using a superior synthetic rubber material in our fabrication.
Formula to calculate volume of a cylinder measured in inches: volume in ounces = ((radius² * π) * height) / 1.805
