    Crank seal which way?

    Does the crank seal install from back side of timing cover or the front on a small block 360. The reason I ask is I bought a chrome timing cover from a member here and when they chromed it they left the old seal in. I dont want to damage anything removing it. Looks like it comes out the front.
