so, now I'm really confused or don't understand English humor  8)

In our day (70s in my case) the stupid kids always sat at the back of the class.

Ahhh --- school the best days of your life. Strange how people see things differently we always thought it was the arse lickers that just liked sitting at the front of the class and bringing apples.  ;D   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRYvUpsrqmg

This will do.
They can be very tight and sometimes peened in place through the 4 holes.

I tried to strip my cb500 wheel down and remove this retainer - I even arc welded some 1" solid steel to the retainer, drilled the centre punch mark's out and wellied the other end of the 1" x 24" bar with a lump hammer - still wouldn't budge so I ground the welds back off and left it in tact as the bearings were ok - I just wanted to heat the hub in an oven to fit a new brake liner so heated it with a blow lamp instead. It can be a right swine to shift. Its just a good thing the wheel bearings last really well, even subjected to the loads of a sidecar full of luggage.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

I ended up drilling my retainer ring and splitting it with a chisel it was so tight.
