    Fork Seal Orientation

    Which orientation should the front fork seals be installed?

    The protruding lip facing down or up?

    In other words should the protruding lip stick above the washer or face down in the tube?

    Please help!

      fork seals

      The flat side with the numbers faces up. Then put your washer and snap ring.

          Bikerphil is correct.
          Another way to look at it... the side with the spring goes down.
