Which Direction Should Grease Fitting of Dexter Equalizer Face

Question:

I bought the K71-449-00 kit from you. I have not found any directions on which way the grease holes are to aim? The 2 bolt piece is fixed to the shackle. Grease holes cant point 2 ways? The last kit I bought in 2009 all of the bolts were loose and not fixed on the shackles like these. They can face toward the leaf spring or away when installed?

I would face the grease fitting of the # K71-449-00 towards the rear of the trailer as that would limit the possibility of dirt or grime from getting into the grease fitting.
