No, air is compressible, hydraulic fluid is not.

It would be analogous to trying to use a giant rubber band instead of a steel crowbar to pry things apart!

If oil is replaced by air in a hydraulic system would the hoist still operate?

Practically it won't, be the air will get compressed, and then the hoist will not work. Read Pascal's principle to check if my answer if correct.


If the output piston is a car hoist was replaced by a piston of twice the area what would happen to the output force?

If the output piston of a car hoist is replaced by a piston of twice the area, the output force would double. This is because the force exerted by a hydraulic system is directly proportional to the area of the piston. Since the new piston has twice the area, it would exert twice the force on the car lift.


What will cause the crane on a m1089 wrecker to hoist up but not down?

If the crane on a M1089 wrecker can hoist up but not lower, it may indicate a malfunction in the hydraulic system, such as a faulty control valve or a hydraulic fluid leak. Additionally, the presence of air in the hydraulic lines can cause inconsistent operation. Another possibility is a mechanical blockage or a failure in the winch or cable assembly preventing it from lowering. Inspecting the hydraulic system and components for damage or wear would be essential for troubleshooting the issue.

How do you install a Honda Prelude transmission?

This is a very big job, and if you choose to do this by yourself you should invest in a repair manual, second if you are an impaitent person, you should not do this!! and it would also be helpful if you had a hydraulic vehicle lift to raise the vehicle off the ground, if not then you will need a engine hoist, or at least two hydraulic floor jacks. and of coarse, tools.

Either the load would not lift cleanly, it might tilt or swing; or the hoist attachment mechanism (e.g. sling or chain) may fail. It will depend on the load, the hoist and the particular error in attachment.
