Abstract
In a clutch release bearing an axially acting annular spring bears on a maneuvering member and on a radial rim on a drive member, so as to urge the latter towards a flange on the maneuvering member. The annular spring is adapted to turn inside out during assembly of the clutch release bearing and due only to the drive member acting on it, changing from a first configuration in which it is generally concave to a second configuration in which it is generally convex.
