Prop shaft packing
Yes it seems this subject has been flogged to death. I need to do mine and have never done one before. I looked on both the Moomba and Supra forums, but stumbled on this "diamond", using google. It's great pictures of what's involved and a pretty detailed explanation on how to do it. So I though I would share. I haven't run across this in any of the forums.

Hope someone else finds it helpful too.
Thanks to DOCDRS for his help to this point. He had a bunch of good stuff on the forums about this.past---------------2003 Outback SOLD

I have an 07 Mobius LS with the dripless shaft. Is the packing the same on a dripless? Do you change it the same way?

I used that write up, and it helped alot. The one thing I found on an 03 was that the Goretex was a bit smaller they the flax, and was alot easier to use. So.. go with the new fancy stuff and it will be alot easier.
