C cas3 Well-known member Sep 23, 2022 #2 I don't know what fuzz you are talking about, but a rubber seal always has the lip towards the oil you are trying to contain.

V vincent Senior Member Sep 24, 2022 #3 cas3 is right, the rule I always follow is: the springloaded lip of the seal is always pointed at the pressure or fluid

fordor41 Well-known member Sep 24, 2022 #6 I was told by a bearing co that lip goes towards oil that's pressurized and away from non-pressure, if trying to keep dirt out.
