Replace leathers on a pitcher hand pump

I need to replace the leathers on a pitcher hand pump. Does anyone know if you have to soak the leather before you install them? If so how long and in what? I have heard that if they are properly installed they will last for years, otherwise you are lucky if they will last the season. But I have had a hard time finding out exactly how to prep the leathers before instillation.
Thanks,
Jim
We had a pitcher pump on the farm years ago. No special treatment as far as I know. Make sure the shiny side is up.
