Rear wheel bearing

Hey everyone I have had over time got a humming in my rear passenger tire and was going to replace the bearing but there is a metal cap blocking the center of the hub. Does this come off?? There should be a bot in the center of the hub.

Yes it's just a dust cap. Should pop right off. If it doesn't, hit it with a ball peen hammer. You may have to buy a new one. But they're only a couple bucks through Napa.

yes I finally had to hit it off with a hammer. But it is ok to reuse just a dent in it. But do you know the size of the lock nut under the cap and if i buy the hub with the bearing will it just bolt on?
