Hi Dave ; The kit has a thick ring where the ball seals to the outer sheet metal flange and a bunch of paper gaskets , you use those to shim the flange cover out so the ball can *just* be moved by hand . There might also be some smaller ring gaskets that go underneath the threaded ring on the back of the ball . I hope this helps , it's better if you use the PM or better yet , post in the AD Foruma where others will be able to give advice . If you search under all my posts , you'll find the How-To , it's old .-Nate
