The flange came right off. I used the idea that was posted a few messages back.
The stuffing box hose was really worn /brittle. A new hose and clamps are enroute from Spartan. For anyone with a CD30MKII, the hose size is 1.5 x 4.5 (Spartan pn H450.)
Thanks for the advice.

Alternate source for stuff box hose
Southern Crown Boatworks sells 1.5" hose (Part #570) for $6.40 each - almost half of the Spartan price, and they are good folk.Larry Austin wrote: PS. CD30MKII "racing sloops" may be a different part #.
