When I disassembled my front forks, I forgot to photo document 2 items and now that it is time to reassemble I am not sure of the orientation of the rubber fork seals in the aluminum housings or the plastic fork guide. Does the spring side of the seal go towards the inside of the aluminum? Does the end of the plastic fork guide with the ridge go towards the top of the forks or towards the seal? Thanks for your help!!!

The plastic forks guides can only go in one way...skinny end up into the triple tree tubes. Seals always go, spring/open side toward the grease/oil.
This might help too.
