My book(s) say to fit the bearing seals "with the lip facing towards the bearing"

:roll: Real helpfull that is.....

Looking at the seal, there is a groove on one side, with a spring type retaining ring in it. Does this side face the bearing? That is my interpretation of the above quote from the book.

Yes. Make sure you lubricate the seal running surface with a bit of oil or gresse so the seal does not get damaged.

Love the sound it makes when you have just packed the Hub full of grease. You push it on, take it off... :roll: :oops:

LMFAO. Yeah, fill the seal with grease as well. Obviously only pack your wheel bearings as required, but if there's any other room, I reckon fill it with grease. Less space for crud to get in then.
