I've removed and installed "chunks" a number of time bot with and without gaskets and having the axles go into them has never been an issue. I've not thought about until your post just now but they must fit up only one way or the horizontal ribs on the forward face are so obviously level when installing them that they just go in such that the axles line up. The only issue installing axles I've found is that when installing them into a posi sometimes you need a man on both sides of the car with crow bars laying across the lugs and you have to twist one side or the other to get the inner and outer splines lined up so the axle can slide all the way in.
