If you soaked the too big gaskets in, say, WD40, wouldn=E2=80=99t they =
compress down to a proper size as you tightened up?
Just a thought..............

I agree that the gasket is not intended to be the oil seal. That is the =
job of the O-ring. I believe the primary job of the gasket is to act as =
a shim. The workshop manual indicates that the bearing spacer should =
stand proud of the hub face including the gasket by a few thousands of =
an inch. I do not recall the exact tolerances. This will assure pressure =
on the bearing spacer which keeps the bearing in place & prevents the =
outer race from spinning. All of the paper gaskets that I have seen =
recently are made from material that is too thick. I have had to made =
gaskets for paper that is of a suitable thickness. Also, if the holes in =
the gasket do not fit over the studs without tearing I have nibbled the =
holes out slightly with a small hand paper punch.

I=E2=80=99ve always installed these with hylomar and never had any =

Would appreciate any informed comments.
