Slinger Ring On Driveshaft Seal

I have what I think is a slinger ring on the rear driveshaft, differential end, that appears to have separated from the seal. There is no leakage, but the slinger ring rotates freely, and makes a lot of noise. I am afraid it will wear into the seal.

At some point I need to replace the seal, but for now, can I just cut the separated slinger with a dremel to prevent any further wear?

If it's broke, and not leaking, you can't hurt it.:hammer:
Yeah, it just keeps the mud and dirt out. Be sure when you get the new seal to save that, and get one like it, not all seals come with that piece.
