I'm doing a rear brake job on the rear drum brakes of my 83 jetta.
I'm putting everything back together and I can't for the life of me figure out which side of the wheel seals should be facing out of the drum!
The seals are Timken and look different than the ones I took out.
One side is soft-ish with some writing on it. The other side has kind of a smooth metal ring on it.
I assume it makes a difference, I just can't figger it out! Anyone knows which side faces the bearing and which side faces the spindle?
A dense guy thanks you in advance.
