(I know this is quite a common question however I did not find the answer through the search)
Our stearn gland is the type shown below... We dont know when it was last repacked so must be more than 6 years ago. It has recently started to drip to the extent of a small stream and grease is also squeasing out allot so am a little concerned. We are not squeesing exesive grease down however is a different type of grease to our normal. We plan to repack this winter and check it out. I realise some grease and water is needed but this seams excessive.
Should we tighten the locking nuts or should we leave it alone? Could 'fiddling' disturb the packing? Could the grease be the problem?
