A clutch release bearing assembly of the kind comprising an operating element and a drive element which, by a flanged edge, is axially applied against a flange of the operating element. For the corresponding axial application and retention of the assembly, an elastic washer bears on the drive element; this elastic washer is provided with at least one lug having a transverse shoulder by which it is engaged with the operating element. The lug of the elastic washer is prolonged beyond its transverse shoulder and at its end is provided with a right-angled flange. This facilitates the use of a tool which co-operates with the lugs during assembly of the release bearing. The arrangement is particularly applicable to self-centering clutch release bearings for automobile vehicles. |
