The leading face () of each lug () comprises a discontinuity () that extends circumferentially in the direction of the trailing face (), axially inwards from the axially outer end face () and radially inwards from the contact face (). The discontinuity () on the leading face () of each lug () is continued by a recess () formed in the bottom surface ().
