ABSTRACT:
A rolling element bearing is mounted in the bore of a housing, and a hollow end cap is mounted over the bearing. Circumferentially spaced grooves in the bore extend axially partially through the housing from one axial end to facilitate insertion of the bearing. The end cap has a closed wall at one axial end and resilient projections extending axially from its open end, firmly engaging the housing grooves. A strap holder, integral with the end cap, may be provided between the two resilient projections, extending radially outwardly along the axial end of the housing and axially along the housing outer surface and has an opening for mounting a grease fitting. An integral flexible strap extends from the strap holder and has a cover to enclose the grease fitting.
