Can I remove this part (Cav/Cali 4x4)

[Nemesis]

I'm using a Calibra 4x4 rear 5-stud setup on my FWD Calibra. So I've removed the diff and shafts as they aren't needed. Now on the rear of the hubs there is a dished piece of metal, with a large nut in the middle. This is what the rear shafts bolted to.

Can it be removed? Or does it support/tension the wheel bearing?

cant remove that mate, the 2wd ones normally came with a plastic cap , the flanges hold it all together

Thought so pal. I'll stick the cap on it from my 2WD 4-stud setup! Cheers

the rear bearings more like front wheel bearings than the normal rear type, with a hub nut and washer, and the washer just happens to have the driveshaft bolt holes in them too, thats why the 2wd ones have the flange too.

So will my 2wd cover fit on the 4wd washer?
