Which direction do you install the oil seal?

Hi Chuck, with reference to your inquiry on the National Oil Seal - part# 710132, clean the surface where the old seal was installed. Examine the new seal and notice the direction of the outer lip. The bevel of the lip fits inward. The sloped part of the lip faces outward. When oil pressure presses against the inner bevel, the lip of the seal pushes out. If the slope faced inwards, the oil would flow out without any resistance.
