For the people who may want to tackle this DIY and are not sure what the grease test is, here is a picture another forum member provided to me (since I forgot to take this picture when doing mine). Mark tells me he left 3mm of the polished axle inboard of the retainer and once installed, using grease on the retainer and spinning it a few times, it will leave a foot print of where the seal lip is positioned. Note, the bevel is outboard and the retainer shows the seal riding in the center of the retainer, right where it needs to be.
*When you take your parts to a machine shop, consider printing this picture and bring it with you.
To take this one step further. If you were to only push the retainer inboard as shown but keep the bevel oriented inboard this picture shows where the seal will seat represented by the black line, at best. Not ideal by any account.
And if you place the retainer where the FSM tell you to, the black line would be on the bevel and the seal will leak.
