 >>Anyone who can tell me whether a new front bearing seal should be soaking in
grease or oil before shoving the hub back on?

Also which way does the seal install?  >>


I soaked my felt seals in oil and installed them with the felt towards the hub.

And that was 8000 miles ago.  (DID have to adjust endfloat a couple times...)

Hope you lingered over dessert...   :)
