A plane bearing assembly includes a bearing defining a longitudinal axis and having an intermediate portion (12) bounded on opposed longitudinal ends by first and second end portions (14, 16). The intermediate portion has an inner working surface (11) and an outer relief surface (20). The first and second end portions have an outer surface (22, 24) which extends radially outward from the outer relief surface of the intermediate portion such that the intermediate portion can be relieved relative to the first and second end portions without substantial deformation of the inner working surface.
