The transfer bearing assembly (84; 484) includes a body (370; 470) having an axially forward side (372) and an axially aft side (374) and a first wing (312; 412) having an axially aft end (375) coupled to the axially forward side (372) and an axially forward end (376). The transfer bearing assembly (84; 484) also includes a first side plate (316; 416) having a radially outward end (378) coupled to the axially forward end (376) of the first wing (312; 412) and a radially inward end (380).
