Hello, Barry.
(1) Yes, there are gaskets there.
(2) I used chassis grease on mine - the same stuff used to lubricate the
kingpins.
(3) The back side of the door caps should have two studs that go through
holes in the door and have nuts/washers securing them. These studs are
attached to a small flat plate that slides into a groove on the back of the
door cap. With the door panel off, stick your fingers through the
available holes and up behind the door cap. You should feel a stud at the
front and one at the rear. When you get the caps off, be sure not to lose
the studs, because they can slide out of the groove.
