I think it's pic 75 towards the crank, I vaguely remember hitting in the new one using a socket and remarking how I "dented" it. My original stock one could have been mistaken for a new bearing considering after 55k it still looked new.

I went off of these instructions:

...so I installed it backwards from what people in here are saying. Worked for me though, and certainly hasn't caused any problems. I'll have to see if it is harder to get out when I do my next clutch swap...

Those instructions also say to put it in the same way..
NOTE: Make sure you install the new bearing with the beveled side out and flat side in towards the crank. Seat the new bearing and tap into place with a hammer and socket or pipe. Hammer the new bearing in until it is flush with the inside of the crank.

I interpreted it to mean the opposite...otherwise, the note above it wouldn't mean anything:
NOTE: Do not use anything smaller then the outside edge of the bearing, because hammering anywhere else on the bearing will damage it.
If they are saying that, then they are talking about the picture in .jpg 75 since that would be facing out (and thus be the hammered surface). The other side wouldn't matter since the inside race isn't visible (and thus you wouldn't have to worry about smacking it with a hammer).
Either way, I'm the one that put it in opposite from what everyone is saying. I probably did it wrong, but I'm not sure what the effects of that decision will be.

^ hey man, i just finished my clutch install today, and i had put my pilot bearing in backwards too... my friend that owns a transmission shop said that it wouldn't have any negative affects, the bearing will just ride i a different place on the tip of the input shaft, and it will be harder to get it out next time, but that it would be alright.

I don't see how it will be any harder to get out...the pilot bearing puller I used just clamps on the inner race from the center, so it should still pull out just fine. I dunno...I'll find out one of these years, cuz that **** ain't coming back out until it has to
