The system comprises a collar (10) and a washer (28). The collar has a band (12) suitable for co-operating with bearing surfaces via its inside periphery defining a setback, and a bolt (24) and a nut (26) arrangement for tightening the band (12). The washer is secured to the collar (10) by fixing tabs (32, 34, 36).
