ABSTRACT:
A wheel bearing assembly comprises an outer bearing member which is secured to a steering knuckle, and a hollow spindle which is rotatably supported in a fixed longitudinal relationship in the outer bearing member by two rows of bearing balls. The hollow spindle has a splined bore which receives a splined stub shaft of a drive bell which is pulled through the splined bore by way of a pull groove in the free end of the stub shaft. A snap ring is assembled to the stub shaft to secure the hollow spindle on the stub shaft against the resistance of a deformed crush ring which is disposed between an inboard end of the hollow spindle and a shoulder of the drive bell. In an alternate embodiment the snap ring secures the hollow spindle on the stub shaft against the resistance of interengaging straight and helical spines of the hollow spindle and the stub shaft.
