Which way do you mean, for the front felt oil seal. 
It's just that I am replacing my disks, and have got 
them off, I think they should face the trunion (A), but 
the on my car they were facing the bearing (B).
     
A. Felt facing trunion.

     James - I am pretty sure the felt needs to face the spindle.  This was 
     an issue on the list some time ago and I seem to recall that was the 
     consensus.  Any one disagree?
