Frequently Asked Questions

Open the OEM parts list or exploded diagram for your exact model/series and search the parts table. If you see 166056 listed as “Bearing, Piston,” it is the correct match for your machine.

Surging pressure, noisy operation, difficulty priming, or unusual wear patterns on the piston/packings often indicate bearing wear or misalignment within the lower assembly.

Clean all mating surfaces, lubricate as specified, verify piston alignment, and replace worn packings at the same time. After assembly, flush with appropriate solvent and test for smooth pressure ramp-up.

Use the exact number from your machine’s manual. Bearing designs can vary by series and revision; if your list shows a different part number, select that number instead of 166056.
