I would install the seals with the open side toward the hub as you suggested. I would also seldom if ever grease the large rear wheel Hyatt bearings via the zerk fitting; other than to hand pack them as suggested above...the grease stays in there very nicely. I have had to dig an awful lot of grease out of brakes from over-exuberant greasing


For the 2014 revised publication of my dissertation on rebuilding the Model A rear axle assembly go to the web site of the Santa Anita A's of Arcadia, California at santaanitaas.org. On the home page put your cursor on "Technical Reference", my name will appear below, click on it and it will bring up my library of technical articles. Scroll to the 2014 revision and click. All the articles are adobe pdf files that can be downloaded and printed out.
