Repair Step For Mud Pump Module
The discharge valves of the MP-16 pump should only be removed in order to be replaced or

stem guide, which is affixed to the cover by means of a retaining plate.
Remove the upper valve cover seal from the fluid bore.
Lift the valve spring and discharge valve out of the bore. This may require the use of a hook
magnetic retrieval tool.
The discharge valve seat should only be removed if the valve is to be replaced. To remove, insert
a hydraulic seat puller into the bore and extract, exercising care not to strike the seat directly.
