My YT rebuild kit came with two front seals. One is only a rubber lip seal, and fits fairly loosely. I assume that is intended for use with a speedi-sleeve to cover the spiral grooves. The other is wider and has both the felt seal and a rubber lip in the same seal. The direction of the garter seems to indicate the rubber should go inboard, but that would still leave it on the spirals. Flipping it around with the felt inside and the rubber outwards lays out better, but the garter faces out now.
I was just expecting a felt only seal with the kit. Anybody put this type of seal in, and what direction did you install it?
