Default Replace leathers on a pitcher hand pump

Soak in water for a couple of hours to a day so that they are supple



No prep required for install

But easier if leather is supple

But you MUST soak before trying to use the pump


Thanks!!! I will soak them in water for 24 hours before I install them
this week.



Don't forget to make sure that you have a lock washer for the bolt & nut
that attach the weight to the central part of the leather flapper.
That's usually the first point of failure of a pitcher pump.
