HT6: Was there any wear on the shaft surface?

Ive seen seals in further and upside down so the positioning changes and the sealing lip runs on a good section of the shaft.

It shouldn't matter unless the sealing lip is tapered on a directional 45�, as you would lose a large section of sealing surface area.

No obvious wear, that's the way the seal is facing in the parts diagram as well
