Josh,
You know what they do in the real world? Hope that the gasket does not break and then simply re-use it. Horrible as it sounds, that is the way most guys do it and I have yet to see one leak. On the other hand I have seen overzealous rookies damage the housing trying to get the gasket off and then have it leak. Pound for pound that is probably the worse darn gasket to do on the entire car. It can be such a pain in the ass that it necesitated makeing the special tool the IPD offers to pull that bushing without pulling the housing, cool tool indeed. I do not recall there being any felt on the OE seals. Did you go back together with a factory seal? It is a definite plus if you can get that sucker on jack stands front and rear, among other things it gives you more room and keeps the excess fluid from sloshing out the back if you do not drain the pan first. Glad to hear it went ok.

Mark
