Orientation Of Grease Seal On Hub

Updated 06/25/2015 | Published 06/23/2015

Question:

I just received my parts for my dexter 10k axle and the seal is marked air side so that side should go towards the middle of the axle? And the metal ring part should be facing towards the outside like inside the hub?

I have attached a photo of the inside of a hub you can check out. In the photo the arrow indicates how the seal is installed on the hub. As you can see the flat side of the seal is flush with the edge on the inside of the hub.
