+1 for the guide linked in the post above.
I just did my front bearings and it is a great guide.

There is definitely 2 big grease seals. 1 goes on the back of the disc rotor ( I think that's the larger one), and the other goes on the kuckle spindle. It will be more obvious when you pull it all apart.

Thanks everybody. After reading the rebuild thread it looks much clearer. I now feel fairly confident to do my bearings, thanks again.
