Abstract
A carrier ring member is disclosed for holding one or more sealing devices in sealing engagement between a shaft and a bearing block, and having a snap-ring for maintaining the carrier member within the block. The snap-ring is held in its flexed condition to permit insertion of the carrier member within the block by a pin releasably retained on the ring when flexed and releases the free ends when manually pulled out of the member allowing the ring to assume its normal unflexed condition.
