Default Need a little help orienting the front wheel bearing seals...

I'm having a little trouble getting my new front brake rotor to clear the caliper (it's rubbing on the inside of the outer half of the caliper housing).

I think that I may have put my grease seal in backwards. Normally, I can just look at these things and can see which way it goes in, but this one is not so easy for me to tell.

Which side goes out- the all metal side or the side with metal edge and rubber center? I originally installed it with the all metal side facing out, and it ended up damaging the seal when I installed it. Elring makes this seal.
