Can someone tell me if I'm right. Since the o-ring on the rear wheel bearings is toward the differential, then its job is to prevent oil from leaking beyond the outside race of the bearing beyong the o-ring? Therefore, the bearing must be sealed on the outside only if oils is to lubricate it and not pass throught it? Then my main question is why is there a paper gasket between the bearing retainer plate ( holds axle in too ) and the drum brake backing plate??? The hole around the axle on both the backing plate and the retaining plate is not sealed. Then what is this gasket all about? Am I missing something. Also, there is no gasket between the drum brake backing plate and the axle flange??? Ok...so what's that about? Delta doesn't have any of these gaskets, but I have two perfect ones on some axles I got on Ebay. I know I can cut new ones easily, but what the heck is there purpose???? Please enlighten me! norm Vandal
