Am replacing the paper gasket and o-ring on one of my axles. Did I read here
the gasket should be soaked in water in order to make it more pliable?

 

I've always installed these with hylomar and never had any leakage problems
from the gasket or o-ring, but the gaskets do tend to tear.

 

Would appreciate any informed comments.
