When replacing a gland on a rod which is threaded to the full diameter or

63-A so shaped that it could damage the seals, a slight rotary motion of the gland
will help prevent damage. In addition, because full-diameter threads are
usually supplied with the crest of the threads slightly truncated, a piece of
shim stock or other thin, tough material can be wrapped around the threads
