ultra torque bearing orientation.

Silly as it may seem, I am replacing the bearings in my ultra torque crank and upon removing the bearings I didn't check to see if the orange side of the bearing or the clear side was facing out or away from the cups. Maybe it doesn't matter? I searched forums and you tube videos and could not get a definitive answer. Can anyone help?

Orange side being the sealed side faces outwards. Clear side being the non-sealed side faces inwards where it is protected from dirt and water by the seal in the Ultra torque cup.

Thanks for clarifying that for me.
