pilot seal orientation ?

The pilot seal goes in with the thicker rubber seal side towards the pilot bearing to provide a slight seal so that dirt/dust doesn't get into the bearing and the grease stays inside.
Make sure to tap it in a little, check the distance, tap some more and check again. You want the rubber on the seal side to touch the bearing but not get completely smashed up against it. I used a deep socket the same diameter or slightly smaller than the seal (I think it was 12 mm?) to get it in place.
