Fitting the water pump seal.

Hi Guys.
The new seal for the water pump on my '98 EC250 has arrived but the previous owner had removed the old one and I'm not sure which way around it goes.

Does the sprung face go towards the impeller or towards the bearing?

That is what I thought when looking at the parts catalogue, then I found this.

The spring faces outwards. The other part uses the spring tension to seat against the white plastic surface internally.
 
Thanks for the info. The picture from the handbook is confusing since it definitely shows the sprung face facing inwards.
