Default Sapphire Cossie 4x4 Front Wheel Bearing Grease Seals?

One question chaps...

Front wheel bearing dust caps/grease seals on a sapphire cossie 4x4 - does the metal circular retention spring face out of or into the hub itself? I'm guessing you push the seal's first lip over the outer edge of the bearing and then butt the second seal lip against the outer face of the bearing itself? Sound's like a good story to me?

Thanks in advance guys.

Alex

I know this to be true, only after installing the other way around, inserting the hub and pushing the seal into the wheel bearing race iteslf. Sad times. Junior error. Fixed now. Won't do that again. Doh.

Thanks.
