Anyone know the correct direction that the lower oil seal should be installed? The spindles I removed have the metal spacer installed toward the blade with the rubber installed toward the grease chamber. The direction seems to place the shaft wipe in the wrong direction. Pictures if you have them.

Looks like a common grease seal. They are always installed with the metal away from the grease. It also appears to be a double lip seal. One lip keeps the grease in, the other lip keeps the dirt out. Install it like it was originally assembled and you are GTG. Good luck.
