The retainer and the seal are separately formed elements. The retainer and the seal secured thereto is press-fit into a first annular groove of the race such that a first groove radially inward facing surface engages a retainer second leg radially outward facing surface, a first groove axially outward facing surface engages a retainer first leg axially inward facing surface, and the retainer is fixed relative to the race.
