Front Hub Seal Orientation
#1
Okay. I'm officially an idiot. I wanted to replace the front hub seals and bearings on my 4WD 1996 Tracker. I ordered the parts, and while I was waiting I took everything apart but forgot to note the orientation of the seals. It's not obvious. Which way is in and which way is out?

no problem.
there are the seals for the backing plate tub those are NOT obvious. I call the brake tub seal.
and then the real main rear seal on axle stub.?
spindle back. (main wheel hub rear center)
that has a lip and the side with the spring goes inside.
