Front wheel bearings.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yes, I’m an idiot. ‘67 GMC...I finally got time to finish the brake job, and since it’s been over a month, I don’t remember how the outer front wheel bearing fits. When I originally removed the drum, both bearings were “pointed” (for lack of the right word) out and remained on the axle (first picture). The GMC Master Parts book shows them “pointed” toward each other (second picture), which would result in the outer (smaller) bearing coming out with the drum. I’m confused and don’t want to waste time drifting the outer race the wrong way into the drum. Help!
