Wise ones
Just changing the rear hub oil seals and my new seal is stamped with one side towards stub axle. Am I right in thinking that this side faces out front the rear of the hub towards the centre of the car? What I should have done was check the old one before I yanked it out, but that sort of thing is for sensible people Thanks Wes Oh woe, oh woe My crusty old landrover, It will not go. |

That is a great way of showing the direction of the seal!

As for checking the old one first, one of mine was the wrong way around!

Why thank you sir A picture as they say...
On seals like this one that have a hollow internal half and a sticky-outy half the hollow half always goes towards the greasy bearings and the sticky-outy half to the outside towards the elements. |

I have no idea, but I wouldn't use it. Looks almost like it has been welded and ground down again.
