A pressed sleeve bearing is disclosed which is moldable out of plastic and which will provide a superior retaining characteristic, while at the same time will retain the designed interior diameter of the bearing, unaffected from the pressing forces and deformation. The region of engagement between the bearing and the supporting part is displaced axially from the bearing region so that any deformation of the sleeve will not be communicated to the bearing surface. The interior of the sleeve in the region of engagement is relieved to provide clearance for the shaft that will be inserted into the bearing.
