Hi
Just a quick question, i am about to fit the front wheel bearings, the ones i have seem to have a small centre piece the protrudes out… does this piece face into the hub or out?
Cheers

They're the integral spacers. They face inwards.

I can't see the image, but is it a stand off spacer for the seal? In that case it may replace the inside seal to stand it out a little further from the bearing. In original setups, there wasa steel band to hold the inner seal about a quarter inch or so away from the inner bearing.

white plastic piece will actually slide onto the cv joint and protects the inner seal.
