Drive Axle Seal Help 850 1995

I have a 95 850 Turbo. The drive axle seal was leaking and I pulled it out. It had to be ordered so 2 weeks went by before I finally was able to put the new one in. This seal is different than any other seal that I have ever replaced. You can see a picture of the seal at this link.

The picture is confusing me. I think that the metal ring should go out. However, on the picture it says "Inside". I tried to put it to the inside but the seal didn't seem like it wanted to go in that way. I think the edge of the seal was trying to catch.

So I have 2 question for someone that definitely knows the answer to this.
1 - Which side goes out. Rubber side or metal side.
2 - How far does the seal go in. Does it go flush with the transmission or does it go in until it stops.

I installed the seal but it also leaked. I just ordered another seal, and I want to make sure that I install the next one correctly.

Thanks,
Bobby
