The bullet has been dodged for the moment--I was able to finally get the packing nut out and get some new packing in even though the shaft is somewhat pitted. Leakage is now down to an occasional drop instead of the former torrent.

If the unit were not mounted on studs it might just be possible but still unlikely.

New question: Is the system supposed to be pressurized? It is equipped with a nice looking pressure cap of unknown capacity. Can't find any specs that mention if it is supposed to have that or not.
