in the shaft packing nut. Took two monkey wrenches and 4 days of PB Blaster and trying with the monkey wrenches to break that seal . Today i was successful sorta ! I got the nuts apart and i got one inch of a string like packing out . ! Now I own 2 cork screw packing removal tools. I tried and failed the corkscrew part is just to large ? What ?? the gap must be 1/8 I have never seen such a small Packing . So i did manage to get one ring in. A 3/16 piece. I have no leaks now . But i want 3 Gortex rings? This whole deal was a 8 hour day laying on the pilot berth space head in engine access panel . Hands on wrenches flashlight in my mouth. Yes I have a LED light in the engine room also . But real bright where i needed it today !
Can it be true a 384 takes1/8 packing in the packing gland ????
