Abstract: The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to a hydraulic fracturing pump comprising a fluid end assembly, the fluid end assembly comprising a cylinder body configured to receive a respective plunger from a power end; a suction bore configured to house a valve body, a valve seat, and a spring; a suction cap; and a spring retainer, wherein a surface of one or more of the cylinder body, the suction bore, the suction cap, and the spring retaining serves as a cathode, and wherein the fluid end comprises at least one of a plunger anode, a suction cap anode, a spring retainer anode, a valve top anode, a valve seat outer diameter anode, and a valve seat inner diameter anode.

Abstract: Disclosed is a spanner wrench for and method of removing a torque-locked torsion spring from a winding cone. The wrench retrieves and engages the terminal end of the spring to apply both a radially outwardly directed force to such terminal end of the spring while simultaneously applying a tangentially-directed force which is counter to the torque lock to remove the spring from the cone without damage to the cone. In its preferred form the wrench is adjustable so as to be able to accommodate spring and cone assemblies of widely varying diameters.
