quote PugetSoundBoater:
If that seals lower lip faced down, wouldn’t it get smashed and messed up by trying to fit the end of the driveshaft through the seal when installing the driveshaft while installing the LU. I had assumed that seal lip would face up.
Both seals are installed from the top of the carrier so the bottom part of the casting should act like a guide. The bottom seal might face up but it’s been a couple years since I worked on one. That’s why I said ‘If I remember correctly’. Now I gotta find one of those double seal units in my stash so I’ll be able to sleep tonight!
