Not sure which way this is supposed to be installed. The ones I removed are different so no help there. TIA, Kent
EDIT: I forgot to mention this is a 911 seal. Not 914. Attached image(s) |

From photos I can’t tell - my sense of depth perception is whacked and I can’t tell which way the sea lip is oriented. I also can’t tell if I’m seeing a single lip seal or a double lip seal.
Sorry for crude drawing - failed art class. This is my best attempt finger painting on my phone. Red is an example of a generic single lip seal profile - the lip should point inward toward the grease and where heat and air expansion will tend to apply pressure to the lip to help seal it Yellow is exterior side - this is the environment side being kept out Blue is the spindle it seals to. Purple is what a generic double lip seal profile would add to a single lip seal From what I think I see in top photo it’s a double lip seal and I believe the top photo is the correct orientation |
