I'm sorry to say I think you have the cage upside down I just checked a scrap joint and the thicker portion is definitely at the top.

I never normally take them apart this far tbh so I had to check one. Usually I catch them before any damage so just repack with the grease that comes with the boot kit.

I originally followed this guy on youtube. At 7:15 he indicates the cage/race location.

Also having a good study of your pic which was from Big Red it looks to be the same. I think I'm ok
