The valve (push rod) may just require cleaning.

First, ensure that the ram is fully back to it’s starting point. Then undo the nut securing the handle. Pull the valve out and then clean it using a lint free cloth. Replace it and push it back in and out a few times to make certain that it’s working. Replace the handle and then tighten the securing nut.

Place the nut into a vice and use a big lever between the axe head and tube.
