Abstract
A housing for a ball or roller bearing includes a first annular part and a second annular part which removably mate together to define a volume in which a bearing is housed and held. The two parts are provided with lugs and corresponding mating components so that when the two parts are offered up to one another and turned relatively to one another, the two parts interlock, O-rings being provided to preload the assembly. One of the parts is provided with a grease nipple.
