Nope, AFAICT, it comes off and the backing plate is able to be removed. I see a seam, if you look to the right of the flange you'll see a white area, just in front of that towards the flange is a seam, it's very hard to see in this pic, but I scratched around it with a dental pick and there's a seam there best I can tell.



I don't think the plate would come off if that was the case, and I have the 4 bolts removed that hold the plate to the hub. That flange must come off. I will figure it out.
