This demonstration guide answers one field question about an unloader body that is eroded past a kit. Measurements come before parts, and the notes are not a generic equipment FAQ.
Diagnose before replacing parts
Start with bore wear in the unloader. That reading separates an unloader body that is eroded past a kit from adjacent faults that share the same complaint.
If the measurement is out of spec, treat the unloader as the primary path. If it is in spec, do not replace the unloader just to complete a parts list.
Repair the failed system
The usual correction is the unloader, installed to the documented spec for this complaint.
A demonstration shop records the finding so the next technician is not repeating a guess about an unloader body that is eroded past a kit.
Stop before you make it worse
Do not mixing unloader parts across pump families. That shortcut hides the original measurement and creates a second failure.
If the machine still fails after the unloader is corrected, convert the visit to a broader diagnosis rather than stacking parts.
