A bearing and housing assembly, comprising a housing and an outer ring , the outer ring comprising: an outer sleeve defining a first exterior surface and a first interior area , the first interior area being defined by a first inner surface extending along the outer sleeve, the first inner surface having a first fastener mechanism formed therein; an inner sleeve defining a second exterior surface and a second interior area , the second interior area being defined by a second inner surface extending along the inner sleeve, the second exterior surface having a second fastener mechanism formed therein; the inner sleeve being removably disposed in the first interior area by selective engagement of the first fastener mechanism with the second fastener mechanism and so that the outer sleeve surrounds the inner sleeve ; and the outer sleeve extending axially from a first end to a second end thereof and the inner sleeve extending axially from the first end to the second end of the outer sleeve, wherein the first fastener mechanism comprises a female threaded area and the second fastener mechanism comprises a male threaded area which is selectively threadedly engaged with the female threaded area, wherein the outer ring is installed in a bearing having an inner member , the inner member having a third exterior surface , the inner member being at least partially disposed in the first interior area for relative rotation therebetween, the relative rotation being caused by an operating torque, characterized in that the first exterior surface is cylindrical and press fitted into a bore of the housing , and in that the female threaded area and the male threaded area have a standard thread design and a clearance that maintains the operating torque within 5 percent of a normal operating range throughout and after the selective engagement of the first fastener mechanism with the second fastener mechanism . an outer sleeve defining a first exterior surface and a first interior area , the first interior area being defined by a first inner surface extending along the outer sleeve, the first inner surface having a first fastener mechanism formed therein; an inner sleeve defining a second exterior surface and a second interior area , the second interior area being defined by a second inner surface extending along the inner sleeve, the second exterior surface having a second fastener mechanism formed therein; the inner sleeve being removably disposed in the first interior area by selective engagement of the first fastener mechanism with the second fastener mechanism and so that the outer sleeve surrounds the inner sleeve ; and the outer sleeve extending axially from a first end to a second end thereof and the inner sleeve extending axially from the first end to the second end of the outer sleeve, wherein the first fastener mechanism comprises a female threaded area and the second fastener mechanism comprises a male threaded area which is selectively threadedly engaged with the female threaded area, wherein the outer ring is installed in a bearing having an inner member , the inner member having a third exterior surface , the inner member being at least partially disposed in the first interior area for relative rotation therebetween, the relative rotation being caused by an operating torque, characterized in that the first exterior surface is cylindrical and press fitted into a bore of the housing , and in that the female threaded area and the male threaded area have a standard thread design and a clearance that maintains the operating torque within 5 percent of a normal operating range throughout and after the selective engagement of the first fastener mechanism with the second fastener mechanism . <EOS>
