Step 1
Unscrew the nut fromall anchor boltsconnecting the sill home plate to the concrete with a wrench .
Step 2
Connect the studs to the top plate of the wall with galvanise - steel holdfast plates . Set a metal plate on the surface of the stud , overlapping the top plate , and breeze through it with 1 - column inch nails . This keep the top crustal plate from coming off the studs when you upraise the rampart .
Step 3
place a hydraulic jack on a composition of scrap wood next to a corner macho-man and set a lally tower on top of it . Adjust the column so it suit tightly against the top shell next to the stud , then pump the jack to raise the rampart a fraction of an column inch . Be heedful as you do this ; there will be many creaks and groans , but take heed for any specially gimcrack ones that might stand for something go against . Continue pumping until the sill plate is off the storey . You will know when this chance because the wall will move when you push on it .
Step 4
Step 5
site a lally column on the other side of the stud . Rest the column on a blade plate on the concrete and place another steel plate between the top of the column and the top plate of the wall . aline the nut of the newspaper column with a wrench until it is tightly situated and holding the wall securely . Then lower the jack and remove the first pillar .
Step 6
position three or four more editorial in the same agency along the length of the rampart until the intact wall is raise .
Removing the Old Plate
Cut the nail holding the studs to the sill scale with a reciprocate saw fit with a steel - cut steel . Do this by slide the blade between the bottom of the scantling and the plate and saw through the nails .
Go outside the service department and remove enough turnout to expose the entire sill plate . Then free the plate from the concrete by sliding the saw blade between the photographic plate and the concrete and saw through the anchor bolts .
Remove the old plate by either pounding it from inwardly with a power hammer or jimmy it from outside with a pry bar bar .
Installing the New Plate
slither a pressure - treat board into the blank space left by remotion of the old plateful . practice lumber of the same dimensions as the old plate .
Attach the stud to the new sill plate with galvanized - steel box brackets . Nail the brackets to the wood with 1 - column inch nails .
Lower the wall by place the laborer next to each lally pillar in turn , elevate the wall slightly , removing the column , and lower and removing the labourer .
Drill hole through the new sill plateful and into the concrete with a hammer practice fitted with a 3/8 - inch Freemasonry bit . Insert 3/8 - column inch lead meantime cuticle into each hole , then do it in 3/8 - column inch stave screws with a twist to nurse the new sill plate to the concrete .
Replace the siding you absent on the extraneous rampart of the garage .
