A shaft (4) is supported in a housing (2) on the front and rear antifriction bearings (20, 22) that are mounted in opposition. The front bearing (20) has an outer race (72) provided with an external thread (86) that engages an internal thread (68) within the housing (2). That outer race (72) is fitted with a locking ring (90) provided with an inner flange (92) that is engaged to turn the race (72) and thereby bring the front and rear bearings (20, 22) into the correct adjustment. The locking ring (90) also has an axially directed outer flange (94) that is segmented, so that one of the segments (102) can be bent outwardly into a recess (104) in the housing (2), thus providing a tab (106) that prevents rotation of the locking ring (90) and outer race (72).
