Help - Problems with Stuffing Box -liner - shafts

[benjijames]

My miss geico makes a terrible noise when I accelerate.
Maybe there is a problem with the stuffing box or the liner.
My flexshaft is new I have bought the ose flexshaft which seems to work pretty well.
I have put a lot of grease but it doesnt't reduce the noise.
How to replace the stuffing box ? It seems impossible to remove this place since it is it sticked in the hull.
If I can't remove the stuffing box, how to remove the liner and to put another one ?
Impossibe to insert it since there seems to be already one in the stuffing box.
How to remove the old one ?
When I put a liner do I have to put one part in the hull and the other one in the strut ?
Thanks for helping.
I am desperate with my miss geico. I have had so many problems.

sounds like you are frustrated, you should be able to remove the old plastic liner get enough sticking out of one end to get pliers on and gently twist and pull, sounds like yours is shot. To install a new one keep pulling with your hands to stretch it, be patient keep pulling it until it starts and goes in, will spring back into shape once installed. Grease your cable after every session at the end of the day. I am still on my originals on both mine.
