The smaller seal goes inside the axle tube.

What LG said .
Unlike most rearends the 20 doesn't lube the axle bearing with the oil contained in the housing. Hence the inner seals. The bearings must be packed like front wheel bearings with EP grease. Some folks have added a zerk to add grease after a few hundred miles.

Luckily I haven't pressed anything on yet[emoji23][emoji23]. I realized that after I had already posted the picture.

Other than the FUBAR backing plate that is in the right order? Thanks for the answer.

Make sure also you put the correct plate on the correct side. Ask me how I know this !:bang:

Damn! Tools would have gone flying...maybe some broken toes after kicking said plates...

Yeah, I have already been thinking about that. I am sure I will turn the air blue if I don't.
