already placed onto the free end 18 of the extension 12 and is acted upon against the form 26 after the deformation of the free end 18 the pressure stamp 28 moves away again in the axial direction and the bearing shell assembly 23 can be taken from the form 26 through the deformation of the free end 18 the spring element 22 is now fastened both in radial and axial direction on the bearing shell 10 in addition to the spring element 22 of course further components such as for example a washer 35 cf fig6 can also be fastened on the bearing shell 10 by the described method depending on the boundary conditions during the manufacturing process in the finished bearing shell assembly 23 the spring element 22 is possibly rotatable relative to the bearing shell 10 about the axis a and or has a slight axial play however as the objective was the in particular radial positioning of the spring element 22 relative to the bearing shell 10 and the non releasable fastening of the spring element 22 on the bearing shell 10 these movement possibilities in no way restrict the operability of the bearing shell assembly 23 and are therefore negligible fig5 shows a perspective view of the pre mounted bearing shell assembly 23 which has been manufactured by the method described above the bearing shell.
