End of story.
Ball bearings are not like a Timken style, tapered roller bearing, that consists of a cup and a cone with the rollers attached to the cone.
A ball bearing comes as an assembly.
Now there are some exceptions that I'll not go into as its irrelevant in this case.
Hope this clears up any confusion.  |
Yes, thank you, that clears up a lot of confusion and helps a lot.
