Default Rear wheel squeek

So the last week or so ive been hearing a small squeel when im in low speed or just dragging the bike by foot to not wake the building and i think i found the cause



The O ring that im pointing at with my key. My guess is this is suppose to be attatched to something right? Because that thing is completely loose...

Looks like seal over bearing has let go. Squeak would come from worn our bearing, or maybe disc brake dragging.

If you pull the wheel yourself, you can probably limit the cost to 1/2 hr of labor +parts...
