Hello Mike,

Welcome aboard. I also have a 1933 5WD Coupe. I've had every nut, bolt, screw and a few rivets off and back on during the 47 years I've owned it. If you have more questions, this site has the people with the knowledge to solve any problems you may run in to.

Roger

Mike - maybe you just need to add some grease via the grease cup and give the packing nut a turn. Try that first. Roger

You were right!Added some grease to the cup and gave it a few turns,no leak.I have ordered new packing,as the packing nut appears to be adjusted as much as possible.I drove the car to my first show this past weekend with no problems! I'm loving this old car!!!!!
