Never strike bearings directly — use a bearing press or driver set. Heat housing (not bearing) to ease installation. Replace bearings in sets where applicable. Check housing bore diameter before fitting — out-of-round bores destroy new bearings.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
Initial signs of a failing Body As-Piston may include a slight decrease in hydraulic system responsiveness. If left unaddressed, this can progress to noticeable sluggishness in implement operation and potential hydraulic fluid leaks. Continued operation with a compromised piston body risks damage to other hydraulic components and reduced machine productivity.
Ensure the cylinder bore is thoroughly cleaned and free of debris before installing the new piston body to prevent scoring. Avoid using excessive force or improper tools when seating the piston to prevent damage to the seals or the body itself.
Inspect the cylinder bore for scoring or wear and replace the cylinder seals when servicing the Body As-Piston.
