revilla Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Yes, seal towards the gearbox to stop grease from the bearing reaching the clutch plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Yes, the seal should be to the outside to prevent the smear (only a smear!) of grease that you will use during assembly from escaping onto the clutch/flywheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
