I have not tried it but I doubt it. On the three axles I have actual experi=
ence with the gasket needed to be Approx. 0.004" thick so that the spacer m=
et the specified tolerances in the workshop manual. The gaskets I purchased=
 were all approx. 0.010" thick. That would be a lot of squish. You would ha=
ve to squish it without the bearing spacer in place. Then remove the axle &=
 measure how much the spacer stood proud of the gasket. Then reassemble eve=
rything, if it met spec. It seemed easier to just make a gasket of the prop=
er thickness.

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