Abstract
A clutch release bearing assembly includes a tubular plastic carrier member for actuating a self-aligning clutch release bearing. The bearing is connected to the carrier with a rigid annular clip. The rigid clip is formed with recesses or tabs which receive or engage complimentary mating portions provided on the carrier. A radial flange is formed on the clip for axially restraining the bearing on the carrier. Bearing seals may be provided on the flange to prevent debris from entering the bearing assembly.
