I have installed my shift shaft bushing and seal facing UP (spring facing UP) towards U joint bellows, is that correct?
so the exhaust side will be like this:




And do You think I can use some socket to push/hammer the upper drive shaft seal?
its 1 double lip seal

@achris my friend, last question to You...
seal is with dual lip, but which side UP? Each side is slightly different\

 

[achris]

Doesn't matter... Either way up is ok.

Yes.

Yes.
