[Public-List] Access to prop shaft packing gland

[Stephen Sousa]

Greg,

 

I have the same vintage with the 2GM also. You should put a pillow over the motor or you will regret it then with two wrenches hold the stuffing box in check and loosen the nut. This is the reason I installed the dripless stuffing box, I can't stand leaning over the motor to align the shaft. 

 

Good Luck,

Stephen
