Gearbox Spigot Bearing

[kevin the chicken]

I am about to fit a new gearbox spigot bearing on my replacement redtop engine and have noticed that the needles don't extend all the way to end of the bearing casing. The rest of the casing appears to have a seal at the end so which way round should it be fitted, seal towards the engine or toward the Gearbox?

Also should the bearing be greased at All? Obviously I don't want any grease getting on the clutch plate.

I fitted mine with seal towards engine just because didn't want to damage seal when pressing it in and yes I did grease it

second RichardL, seal keeps grease in bearing and dirt out.

Seal on gearbox/clutch side, greased bearing on engine side. Don't tap it in too far. Flush and another 2mm.
