Replacing Cup Pistons
Service Tip - Due to the large uninstalled diameter,
Type B piston cups on L0918 pumps
(2.25” nominal bore diameter) cannot
be inserted through the fluid end
without the risk of damaging the
sealing surface of the cup. Any
pump with Type A cups are not
affected, and you can skip directly to
step 1 in this section.

Service Tip – To perform service on L0918 pumps
equipped with Type B pistons, the
fluid end must be removed and the
liners taken to a bench or other
suitable work area for assembly.
Follow the steps outlined in section

Service Tip – Type B pistons in L0918 pumps
must be installed in the piston liners
using a press or vice as shown to the
right. Be sure to protect both ends of
the assembly with soft vice jaws,
wood blocks, or a suitable non-

Service Tip – Press the piston assembly into the liner until the sealing lip has just entered the
front of the liner. Use a small amount of glycerin on the ID of the liner to help
lubricate the piston during installation. After the liner has been installed in the
pump power frame, drive the piston assembly fully to its stop using the FMC
piston tool (A5049) and a rubber mallet.
