A bearing support member and bearings form a subassembly that can be inserted, in the direction of the axis of the bearings, into a bore of a rocker arm. A support stud can then be passed through an aperture in the rocker arm and a bore in the bearing support member so as to engage the rocker arm and maintain alignment of the rocker arm and bearings. Also disclosed are an inner sleeve and particular configuration of the bearing support member to facilitate manufacture of the bearing support member by powdered metal forming.
