Are you sure that's right? That symbology is for "face to face" mounting
and everyone I've talked to have said "back to back" is the way to go.



Hopefully, either the inner races _or_ the outer races are clamped together
with a nut ant the other races are just located with a circlip, if at all. If
so, this will define which way round to mount the bearings since the clamping
_must_ set the preload.

If both inner and outer are clamped with nuts, then you are back to the
original confusion :-(
