    My Haynes repair manual reads "before installing the drum, remove the thin gasket from inside the drum where it mates with the axle flange and clean any rust from the drum and flange before installing a new gasket". Is this a gasket that I can make myself from gasket material? Does the thickness matter? I assume the gasket is there to help prevent the drum from rusting to the axle flange. Can the old one be reused if its not damaged?

    Sorry, posted this in the wrong forum.
