king pins

iv been working on my king pin bushing replacment kit after work these past 2 days but now i think i have missed something or add one more seal then i needed, the kit comes with springs, bushings, axle shaft seals, and everything you need, but i saw on top of the king pin bolt there was a seal that looked exactly like i had in my kit so i put it on and continued on my way and installed it all and bolted everything up then i noticed on my axle shaft is the exact same seal, now i dont know if the seal had to be around the king pin bolt?, i will list what i installed from top to bottom, and tell me if i added more or missed something
top:king pin bushing, spring, spring washer that rests on bushing, gasket, rubber gasket around base of king pin.
bottom:rubber seal that goes around metal cap that goes in first before the bearing race, then bearing, and then a aluminum seal with rubber piece, then cap.

and in the king pin kit i got a smaller o-ring, whats that for?

thanks for anyhelp i can get ,
Gregg
