ABSTRACT:
A self-aligning bearing and a method of forming and mounting such bearing such that it may be conveniently removed and replaced from an apertured portion of a supporting wall under conditions when access is had to one side of the wall and only limited access to the other side of the wall is available thereby obviating the necessity of expensive and time-consuming removal and replacement of constructional parts that would otherwise deny access to such other side of the wall. This in general, is accomplished by forming an apertured ball within an outer race member, threading and notching opposite ends of the race member to provide a notched portion and a threaded portion at each end of the race member, and threading a separate nut on each of the threaded portions with a deformable ring interposed between the corresponding wall and nut. Each ring has a first tab that engages a corresponding notch and a second tab that is engageable with a flat portion of a corresponding nut upon deformation of said second tab. There is, for selection, one or more notches on one end of the race member and also one or more notches on the other end of the race member with such notches on opposite ends being staggered circumferentially so that if and when desired the same bearing may be removed and replaced, end for end, in the wall opening even though there is very limited access to one side of the wall.
