<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face="Century Schoolbook" size=2>I think my propeller
shaft is dripping too much. I'm not sure how to go about tightening the
packing. It would appear there is a lock-nut aft of the tightening nut and
that I would first back the lock-nut a bit and then tighten the other. Is
this correct and can it be done by one person. There is an access plate in
the cockpit sole directly above the packing nut and that is where I plan to get
access. There is only room for one hand and I'm hoping I don't have to try
to get in the compartment with two wrenches. Any help would be
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
