Another annoying axle question

As I look down the thread list I am embarrassed that most of the last ten threads are mine. No, I didn't go to school in the short bus. Yes, this axle came to me in pieces, and so I have been trying to puzzle my way through it. So, on to the next annoying question.

The spindle "kit" comes with a bearing and two rubber seals. Where the larger seal fits is pretty obvious. However, the little one is a head-scratcher for me. It fits on the axle shaft, but does the "open" side face toward the spindle bearing or toward the knuckle? Thanks in advance.

Press the spindle bearing in far enough so that the little seal rests inside the spindle bore. The open side of the seal will face the knuckle.
