A wheel bearing assembly includes a fixed inner axle with at least one inner race, a rotatable outer hub disposed about the axle and having at least one outer race and rolling elements disposed between the inner and outer races. An annular seal is disposed between the axle and the hub and is located adjacent to the inner and outer races. A shield is spaced axially from the seal such that the seal is disposed between the rolling elements and the shield. The shield includes a rigid annular body having an outer radial end coupled with the outer hub, preferably by a plurality of couplers, and an inner radial end defining a central opening for receiving the axle and located adjacent to the inner axle or a component disposed upon the axle. As such, the annular body substantially obstructs an annular interior space to prevent substances from contacting the seal.
