Can I reuse my gaskets in between my elbows and header?

Can I reuse my gaskets in between my elbows and headers I’m trying to get to flappers inside my tips but the tips won’t come off. I’ve tried unclamping the rubber between the elbow and tips and the tips still won’t come out the stern so can I just take the elbows off and get to the flappers and then reuse the gaskets for the elbows?

The riser gasket??? replace it.... you do realize that if it leaks to the inside it could be new motor time

Why take the chance over a few bucks. Replace and sleep at night. IMO

Stop now. You have been fighting to get the flappers out all day. Tomorrow Teague will be open, call them, and ask how to remove them. They are good folks. Remember they are on California time so noon Boston will be good.
