JUST ONE SIMPLE QUESTION....FOR AN EXPERIENCED MIND. I'M READY TO REASSEMBLE THE FRONT HUB BUT NOT SURE THAT IT WAS TOGETHER CORRECTLY TO START WITH AND CAN'T TELL FOR SURE BY THE HAYNES OR BL MANUALS OR CATALOGS. I FOUND IT WITH THE FELT DRY & LOOSE AGAINST THE BACKING PLATE/VERTICAL LINK, AND THE EMPTY METAL PART OF THE SEAL PRESSED INTO THE HUB. OF COURSE THE NEW SEAL HAS THE FELT GLUED INSIDE THE METAL CAP. AND 25+ YEARS AGO, LAST TIME I DID FRONT BEARINGS/SEALS, I REMEMBER SOAKING THE SEAL IN OIL AND PRESSING IT FELT FIRST INTO THE HUB & FLUSH. WHAT IS THE CORRECT ORIENTATION & LUBRICATION?

THANKS, STEVE
