Re: Stus-List Stuffing Box Packing Recommendation needed
These are purpose built packing pullers: http://www.amazon.com/Palmetto-Packing-Extractor-flexible-removeable/dp/B00887BSP8 I have a few sets from the small to very large for doing pumps & valves. Only the small one is required for boat jobs. A word of caution if you choose to use Goretex/Teflon packings... do not tighten the packing nut any more than necessary. A time after we changed to these products at the plant there were numerous pump shaft wear sleeves ruined do to the gland being tightened as if it was old style packing (severe scoring). The word finally got around that mechanics should go easy on install and retighten the next run day or so to only that necessary. After a short run-in period these packings are really good.

It helps if you have access to some dentist's tools (really). I have the PSS dripless, so I don't care, but I have seen it done. Almost calls for a dentistry hygienist to help.
