Mid season maintenance
quote:
Never had a leak using Fel Pro or Cometic’s steel reinforced gasket with a smear of the Right Stuff.


For smearing gaskets with sealant, I prefer this. The disassembly and cleanup is the easiest I’ve experienced. Hylomar

I have reused the FelPro steel shim gasket multiple times and never use any sealant, no leaks.
I have used both the 9 inch and 9.5 gears and broken the pinion with both. To fit the 9.5 gear I had to grind clearance in the Fab 9 housing to fit the gear in

Once you've used a lube locker gasket you'll never go back. Not a dab of silicone, not a drop of gear oil. 9.5" gears fit Moser Housing no problem.

I have a lube locker gasket on the bench, but it is so thick. How does it affect installing and removing the axles?

The smear is quick, easy and guarantees no leaks!
