440xi Wheel-Bearing renewal question

    Have a '93 440xi non-abs which needs a new wheel bearing on the front
    nearside.

    Does the replacement wheel bearing have the ball cage exposed on one end ?

    I'm asking because I've disassembled the hub and managed to get the old
    bearing of, but the hub flange has a large rounded shoulder which I suspect
    maybe part of the old bearing and therefore also needs removing - which
    looks impossible to do because there is nothing to grip onto in order to
    extract it from the flange.

    I'm hopeing the rounded shoulder is actually part of the flange, and is
    therefore meant to stay there for the exposed ball cage of the new bearing
    to butt up to.

    On the other hand, if the new wheel bearing doesn't have an end with the
    ball cage exposed, then it's obvious the shoulderd part must somehow be
    removed from the flange.

    Any help/tips/advice will be much appreciated.
    Thanks
