All right, I give up.  No way to escape this with the dignity of anonymity.


Rear axle seals that fit in the housing come as I guess neoprene.  One side is 
flat with a metal facing and a bit of lip, and the other side is concave where 
the neoprene is compressed with a circular spring.


Which side is supposed to face toward the outside of the car?  The side where  
you can see the spring, or the side with the metal facing?


I can't find a picture or description anywhere, other than the obscure "The 
lips of the oil seal should be facing inward."


Ugh!


Terry Smith, '59 TR3A
