Two questions on AR9 reforming process

Hi all, here I am, busy reforming my AR9's...I have two questions though.

1. The instruction mentions gasket for midrange and woofer. My AR9 didn't have any. Am I missing anything?

2. When cleaning the 12" woofer, I noticed that the outer rim of the old surround is not glued directly to the speaker basket. Instead, it is glued to a ring that's made of cork-like material (this ring is glued to the speaker basket). It's really hard to clean this ring...do I need it? Can I simply remove this ring and attach the surround to the speaker basket?

Thank.

AR9 do not have metal gaskets...it has form gasket which I need to get and install later.

This was answered on one of Pete B.'s post. He had a woofer with the wood trim intact. This is what I did...I had to use a wood chisel...it was alot of work...
