I will take a shot at that.
Finish the axle with emory paper to make it as smooth as possible for the entire length of travel plus a little more on each end.
Purchase some teflon packing from Grainger, expensive stuff.
That packing is just like teflon tape that is wrapped into rope like coil. 3/8" aught to do it.

Put as many wraps of the stuff into that nut as you can and tighten the nut. Pump it a bunch then tighten a little more. PUMPDESIGNER
