which way does the bearing go on the rear 44 shaft?

I got my new AlloyUSA 44 shafts. I also have disc retainer plates, bearings, seals and collars. Which way does the bearing go?

I believe the order is: retainer plate (lip toward the splines) --> seal (which way does it go?) --> bearing --> collar. Right?

From Stu's sight:


The bearing is placed so that the race is nearest the splines. Look through his sight and you'll see some good pictures on how everything is supposed to line up.

Lip? My new retainer plates I just picked up at the dealer are flat without a lip.

The lip is for the disc brakes, the flat ones for drums. From Stu's site:

OH HOLY CRAPOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I forgot my rear disk brakes require that lip that only comes on the Rubicon retainer plates. HOO BOY am I glad you posted that photo before I pressed things together! I now have to take the flat plates back and get the right ones. Thanks a bunch!!!!
