What you want...are washers with an outside diameter either just a hair smaller....or larger....then you can grind them down. But...they will probably be about $2 ea. Get three. They should have anywhere from a 1/2"-3/4" hole in the center. Get a fat piece of all thread and two lock nuts and washers. Between the nut and bolt dealer and homo depot....itshould run about $12-15. Use that to tap the inner seal in flat. Ray
Good idea Ray. I usually use a socket for that but unlike many of my other cars I'm not sure I have one of the proper size.

Thanks,

Kevin
