Anyone who can tell me whether a new front bearing seal should be soaking in
grease or oil before shoving the hub back on?

Also which way does the seal install?  The PO had the felt toward the hub.
It is unclear from my Haynes manual if this is correct.   Vicky brit seems
to show the felt against the bearing.

Any responses before I finish my dinner will be very much appreciated.
