Anyone know how it comes off or does it have to be removed to get the backing plate off?

That ring is part of the slinger. It should just tap off from the back. You will need to remove it to get the backing plate off.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

Tap it gently with a hammer from the back or use a pry bar to work it off the spindle bore. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 9 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 9 | Thanks guys, I'll give it a try. | | |
