Bearing replacement, seal orientation...???
I'm doing a bearing replacement and complete break job, 89 xtracab 3.0, 4x4 5 speed. Wasn't really paying attention when I pryed the hub seals out...I'm wondering which way the seal goes back in, with the tension spring of the seal towards the outside of the hub or the inside. All help appreciated, thanks!

The side with the spring can't be flat.

In any case, the spring side goes toward your freshly greased bearing.
