packing clockwise around the shaft. Clockwise so the end of the nut
helps tighten the packing as you tighten it. With the fan belt loose
tighten the nut until you fell the packing drag on the shaft. If the nut
go's way into the pump loosen the nut and add more packing and
readjust drag. This should be good for a few years with small
adjustments if it drips. G.M.
