Default Re: new shaft packing stress

Hand tighten, then about one third turn more. When you drop her in start the motor,put shaft in gear, let her leak, stop motor and then tighten untill leak stops. Sometimes you have to do it a couple of times until you are happy with it, not worth getting stressed over, there are worse things!
