Hello GVR4.org

I am just about to finish up my 5 lug swap, but have one questions.

Does anyone know how the seals are installed on the front hub? When I removed the bearing/seals, I quickly tore them out, and I ordered new ones, but am not sure about to install them. I have a new bearing, hub, and seals now. I know I have a 50/50 chance, but honestly I've messed up installing seals backwards before, so I'm looking for some input.

thanks!

I searched high and low but Terry Posten did an amazing right up on this procedure with lots of pictures that would probably square you away. I just happen to really suck sometimes when using the search function.

As far as I can best described each of the seals "point" toward one another. In other words the outermost and innermost seal both have the smooth side facing away from one another on the hub. Does that make sense?
