Alright, I did both my shaft and rudder in about 1 1/2 hours. It wasn't too bad at all. I just have some scrapped up hands and a nice bruise on my hand from trying to pull the stuffing box apart, then I realized I could wiggle it out . After all said and done, it's a fairly easy process. Thanks for the help guys.

BTW, I just used the Flax Pack that West Marine has (PO had it on the boat already). I guess this will drip when running the boat? Looking forward to trying the GTO dripless next time.
