The invention relates to a method for producing and/or assembling a bearing with a bearing bore, a journal which is located in the bearing bore and at least two bearing shells which at least partially encompass the journal in the bearing bore, there being a number n of tolerance classes. Here the bearing class width C1 for the bearing bore and/or the journal should obey a relation C1=T1=t2=T3= . . . =tn/Tn, and another bearing class width C2 for at least the first of the bearing shells and/or at least one other of the bearing shells should follow the relation C2=t1=T2=t3= . . . =Tn, Ti (with i=1, . . . , n) being tolerance range values of the bearing bore and/or of the journal and ti (with i=1, . . . , n) being tolerance range values of at least one first and/or of at least one other bearing shell and that the bearing bore is assigned to one bearing shell and/or the journal is assigned to the other bearing shell such that there is the same bearing classification with C1=C2 and/or an unlike bearing classification with C1 C2, preferably C1>C2. The invention furthermore relates to a bearing.
