Re: Stuck packing nut
It could simply be the packing is worn, nut is bottomed and the packing needs to be replaced.....old out and new in.....can be done in the water. Hopefully the shaft is still smooth ( no gouges or nicks etc ) and if it cleans up good with the right packing adjusted properly you can get it quite dry. I'm still astounded he couldn't do anything to resolve even temporarily. Anyhow good luck with your repair.

Re: Stuck packing nut
Were they were trying to loosen as well though and the thing is stuck to the locking nut/ring or just does not turn at all ? Tough to tell not being there and getting eyes on it.
I am sure viper will have done this many many more times than I have.....never had one right stuck like that.

Re: Stuck packing nut
... Not all tubes are righty-tighty, some are reverse thread, so this is something they need to consider. ...
^^^THIS, and having the appropriate tools are the big things
