Have not got a picture as all bolted up, it looks the same as any wheel bearing seal, nothing special.

Lip points out to stop ingress of dirt.

Thing to note if you are pulling out the bearings, although tapered bearings are used there is no adjustment. The hub is machined with a lip in the middle which the shoulders of the bearing butts too. It makes taking them apart awkward, ie you destroy the bearings in the process.

These bearings cost £40 a side so if yours spin free lt its best to leave well alone. I made this costly mistake !
