https://www.google.com/search?q=Stu...microsoft:en-US:IE-Address&ie=&oe=&gws_rd=sslI need to repack my stuffing box on a 95 370 Dancer. Where. Can I find a wrench big enough (about 3 5/8”)?
Have any pictures Frank?We had some 3/8” aluminum plate left over from another project. I made rudder and shaft packing nut wrenches in about an hour one Saturday morning with a band saw and a milling machine.
They worked better than channel locs and were softer than the packing nuts so you never damage the nuts on a frozen stuffing box.

Frank or Mark,
Any interest in making two more? For a fee?
Mine are frozen and so far nothing I've tried has been successful.

You are right about that ! Another thing i use them on are removing my oil filters. better then any oil filter wrench or Strap wrench. Yea i agree!View attachment 67862 You don't need a wrench. I always used a large set of channel lock pliers to do mine. It's a tool that you you can use on other projects too instead of a single purpose tool. Also useful for pulling and straightening the cotter pins while you are making your adjustments through out the year. Works better than the wrench in my view.

The templating process is simple and can be done with common hand tools or you could take a template to a local machine shop and have one made for not a lot of money.
Rob have you sprayed (drenched) the nut with penetrating oil (something like liquid wrench works well), let it sit for 24-48 hours and tried again? Mine were also jammed and would not budge at all. Tried 4 different tools including the above mentioned. After I let them sit for two days after having squirted a very healthy dose of penetrating oil, they came loose with a water pump wrench.
