    Compression gasket
    While trying to repair an old leaking shower drain I removed the compression gasket. Now I need to replace it and there is a very small opening between the pvc and the drain making it impossible to get the gasket back on because the opening is son narrow/small. Any tricks or ideas?

    That gasket is designed to fit. Try again. Spray WD-40 on it so it slips in better.

    If it went in easily, it would probably leak

    Picture would help, too

    Back to you
