This area

Unless they are rough or stiff, then just put it around the inside where it contacts.

To get it actually inside where the balls are, use a small flathead and pry up the seal from the inner area.

A tiny bit of Phil's is what I use. However in many cassettes they use oil. Some you almost have to use oil. I prefer the grease because it makes them pretty quiet.
