Ah, interesting. It's all back together now, but I'll do that if I pull it apart again. So you're saying I should feel it drag one way, and not the other? It must be the case that if it's in the wrong way one of the flanges rides against the seal instead of the race.

I swear my spacer looked symmetric though.

Mine have always had a shoulder that fits in the I.D. of one with a slight dish to it.
