      The writing should face outward.

        Thank-you. I have to pay closer attention when I take things apart.

          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

            Thats true however the stock seals have springs that can be seen on both sides. Amk is right about the writing being up
