i just wanted to check with you guys and make sure i didn't install my new rear seals backwards before i put everything back together. the only reason i'm questioning it is because the "spring" on the old seals was closest to the bearing. the "spring" on my new seals is closest to the wheel. the metal casing are in the same orientation though... the flat faces is up against the bearing and the "cup" is facing outward towards the wheel. here's a pic...
