Thanks for all the responses.=C2=A0 This weekend I rebuilt both sides with =
a new gasket over a=C2=A0 continous circular bead of Permatex Ultra Black (=
also round each stud). I did them one at a time with 24 hours between them,=
 leaning the side I was working on up on a jack so that it was clear of axl=
e oil. The joints were tightened up with the drum and spline adaptor on, an=
d the 5 nuts torqued up. The first side sealed fine - the other I will know=
 about tomorrow.
I can see the design problem. The bearing and spacer need to protude slight=
ly further out than the hub face plus the paper gasket, to ensure the beari=
ng doesn't turn. But if the protrusion is even slightly too much, the joint=
 will leak. Hopefully the Permatex will do the trick.
I note that the gasket supplied by the parts company today is jut a bit thi=
cker than the ones I got 12 years ago.
