&gt;&nbsp; Subject: Re: [Healeys] Rear axle gasket =
question<br>&gt;&nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; Sent: Jan 26 '15 08:41<br>&gt;&nbsp; =
&gt;<br>&gt;&nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; I have not tried it but I doubt it. On the =
three axles I have actual<br>&gt;&nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; experience with the =
gasket needed to be Approx. 0.004" thick so that<br>&gt;&nbsp; =
the<br>&gt;&nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; spacer met the specified tolerances in the =
workshop manual. The<br>&gt;&nbsp; gaskets I<br>&gt;&nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; =
purchased were all approx. 0.010" thick. That would be a lot =
of<br>&gt;&nbsp; squish. You<br>&gt;&nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; would have to =
squish it without the bearing spacer in place. Then<br>&gt;&nbsp; =
remove<br>&gt;&nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; the axle &amp; measure how much the =
spacer stood proud of the gasket. Then<br>&gt;&nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; =
reassemble everything, if it met spec. It seemed easier to just make =
a<br>&gt;&nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; gasket of the proper thickness.<br>&gt;&nbsp; =

&gt;<br>&gt;&nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; If you soaked the too big gaskets in, say, =
WD40, wouldn=92t they<br>&gt;&nbsp; compress<br>&gt;&nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; =
down to a proper size as you tightened up?<br>&gt;&nbsp; =
&gt;<br>&gt;&nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; Just a thought..............<br>&gt;&nbsp; =
