I was wondering because to me (altho I haven't looked at it closely in a few days) it looks like everything is all of a piece, what should be the packing nut doesn't appear to be a separate piece that can be turned one way or the other by itself. Unless it's all so caked over on the outside with something that you can't tell where one part ends and another begins.
