[Alberg30] stuffing boxes wrenches

[Mike Lehman]

Nice try George. They look like black rectangles here too. Bill Hicks looks 
like he has a great idea.

Tom,

I've got a piece of scrap aluminum.  I haven't measured it, but
I think it's 3/8"  I was planning to make the wrenches 8" long,
as shown in the Maintenance Manual.

I just put up http://www.alberg30.org/maintenance/stuffingbox/wrenches/
but the page from the Maintenance Manual didn't come out right.
The pictures turned into black rectangles, at least when I look at
it.  Maybe it'll work for you.  In any event, I'll try again later
when I've got more time.

I also put up a photo that Bill Hicks sent me of the wrenches that he
made.  That looks like a better idea to me, and a whole lot less
work.  (Thanks, Bill.)
