Abstract
A hybrid module includes a first component, a second component, a first bearing, and a retainer. The first component has a pilot surface and a threaded portion, and the second component has a shaft and a tool. The tool has a first drive profile. The first bearing is installed on the pilot surface and the retainer is threaded onto the threaded portion. The retainer has a second drive profile, complementary to the first drive profile. A second bearing may be installed between the first component and the shaft, and a retaining ring may be installed in the shaft or the first component to prevent axial displacement of the shaft relative to the first component. The retainer may be disposed on a first axial side of the first bearing, and the second bearing may be disposed on a second axial side of the first bearing, opposite the first axial side.
