Stuffing Box

 

From Chris Harker:

I've read other people's tales about replacing the packing gland hose. It sounded like an ordeal with no easy solution. But I've found a method that made it fairly easy. Once the tools and supplies are in place the hose can be installed in an hour or so.

Tools & supplies: 

Procedure: 

All that remains is to put hose clamps on the gland end of the hose and go on with the rest of the installation.
