Also if you have not already changed to them you can get a sealed axle bearing that will not allow any of the tranny oil to leak past. It is an Awesome upgrade.

technically the one that Chuck posted should use the oil slinger that fits in the hub.

It looked like when I put mine together last time I used the #7 washers in place of the oil deflectors (as well as using them in the correct location), so I used two #7 washers. I never noticed them leaking, so I guess it must work okay... I'll take some pics and do a review when I put my rear disk brake kit together :ugeek:

That is cool that it worked. #13 is larger and thicker. It is the same size as the ledge inside the cap. The seal is what holds it in.
