An oil seal like Redline part # 9103309 installs in the back side of the hub (the side nearest the trailer's frame) with the sides or "legs" of the seal inserted into the hub's bore. This means that the flat metal surface of the seal will face the trailer frame.
The linked photo of a seal will show you both sides and indicates the direction in which it should be installed into the hub.
I have linked both an article and video on seals that may be helpful to you.

Which way does the Timken seal go into the hub. One side has what looks like a small spring inside.
