Steve, there are paper gaskets on both sides of the brake anchor plate.
The inner gaskets set the axle side play clearance. There is also an oil
seal in the small sheet metal plate. I have learned to remove the hubs
with a hub puller, and go from there. It's pretty hard to work on with
those hubs in place.
