The corks are for the fulcrum pin, yes they are the same size, they are 
intended to keep the grease in and the dirt out.
I bet you rip them installing them.
So if you do, get a couple of garden hose washers, not the plastic kind, 
good ole rubber hose washers, you can find them on a small stem of about 
6 or 8 for a buck or 2 where ever garden hoses are sold.
Depending on the brand, they might be a bit tight, I have sanded them 
down to get them in and they work great in replacing the corks.
As for the rubber O rings in the kit, they go under the dust tubes.
That 2 piece thin steel thing with the spring around it.
