Struggles with Replacing the Seal of a Bathroom Sink Faucet's Swivel Spout

Hello
Sorry if this is not the section, but definitely here
someone finds a practical solution to the problem.
I need to replace the faucet in my bathroom sink
rotating
as in the picture, however, the new gaskets are so new that I can not
put them in the battery. If I make it a bit thinner - it's ok
but it leaks, if I give the thick ones, I don't want to enter People's China.
Any practical advice?
It's a simple matter, but it causes higher blood pressure

Simple - you just need to buy the right thickness of the gasket and install it.

Try putting some grease on it before putting it in the battery. Groceries just in case. It's best to show a photo with those too big gaskets, it will be known if they are actually too big.

Installation ointment (it is silicone-Teflon).

You know, not everyone has it at home and buying it especially for one tiny assembly is a bit pointless, don't you think?

These are typical problems in the era of the best articles from brotherly China. They have standards, but only for fakes, and when it comes to fakes of fakes, it's different. My guess is that you have a typical shop gasket and it is too tight - a homemade way, pour boiling water over the gasket, the rubber will soften for a while, if the difference is not too big, it should work. Sometimes it can't be done, then take the spout to the store and play "blonde", the gentlemen in the store will put it on you...

...one more idea, although it doesn't necessarily have to be successful. I don't quite know why you want to replace the gasket in the new battery, but if it's not a new battery, pull the gasket off it and look closely at the grooves in the battery, maybe there is some abrasion or crack ... and that's why it's leaking ...

welcome back
Thanks everyone for the advice
The problem was resolved as follows:
1. a new set of gaskets in the praktiker (PLN 2) at first glance seemed slightly thinner than those that did not fit.
2. Regular nivea cream
3. two people - one controls the process of screwing the gasket - the other "screws" the tap into the faucet

The whole problem, however, came from the products, as a colleague has already noticed, produced in China for the proverbial 3 yuan :)

Thanks for the hints. Topic is closed.
