id be willing to bet if u were to put it on an open workbench with the centre hub bit hanging over the middle, and u gave the exposed centre part a smack from the front, the hub part would drop out
all the signs wud say its a separate piece and just stuck lol
easy mistake to make though dude, i only learnt about this whole separate hub thing when mine broke and i drove around various ford dealers and breakers. i was close to assuming i needed sumthin off a focus or sumthin!!

plus i even bought a van 1 by mistake which wudnt fit
you could still be right and its 1 piece.........but i doubt it

lol
