Abstract
A split multipiece flanged journal bearing for use as an engine crankshaft thrust-journal bearing or the like wherein the thrust flanges and journal bearing shells are semi-cylindrical and have interlocking means to prevent rotational motion of the thrust flange relative to the respective bearing shell and with potential replacement interchangeability so that any worn or damaged parts may be replaced without changing the whole bearing and so that any one or all thrust flanges may be replaced without removing the crankshaft from the engine and wherein the notch and interlocking lug at one end of a particular combination of thrust flange and bearing shell is of greater arc length than those at the other end to provide a fail-safe feature to assure correct assembly.
