YouTube video on shaft packing 5 " shaft

I ran across this short video on repacking a shaft log on a commercial vessel. YouTube - Shaft Packing. It's a bit different than what I'm used to.

Chief, did you have to beat on the packing with a hammer? That's a neat trick that never occurred to me.

Now, there's a descriptive term which warns of impending doom should you fail to heed certain dictates. Thanks for the details!
