MP-16 2-Piece 5000 psi January 2013

Lightly grease the face of the liner or apply a
thin coat of grease to the inner diameter of
the liner retainer, and insert the liner into
position.

Insert the adjusting nut into position on the
liner.

NOTE

For fluid ends with a liner
retention flange and nut, insert
the liner into the flange and
hammer on the retainer nut.

Rotating the pump by the pinion turning tool,
support the piston rod as the pin is guided
into the pilot bore.
