Hub inner seal
Im in the process of rebuilding the hubs on my 1996 defender 90.
Its been a while since i stripped it down, and now cant remember which way the inner hub seal goes. Ive searched but found nothing

One face of the seal has a flexible thin lip that protrudes of the base of the seal about 5-6mm.

If i flip the seal over, the seal is recessed and channeled around its circumference.

So which side faces the bearing?

There are a couple of good YouTube tutorials worth watching. The Trailer Fitters are very good.

The soft flappy bit pointing towards you.

I might have a picture somewhere! Did this 2 weekends ago!

Perfect mate, thankyou for that!

I think my stub axels need a good clean up then. Seals have been the wrong way round
