Abstract: A drive assembly including a housing having an opening, a shaft supported for rotation by a bearing assembly received in the opening of the housing, and at least one gear fixed for rotation with the shaft. The bearing assembly includes a bearing that is axially fixed to the shaft, and a sleeve having a tubular section, a radially inwardly extending flange at a first end of the tubular section and a radially outwardly extending flange at a second end of the tubular section. The bearing is received in the tubular section and abuts at least a portion of the tubular section and the radially inwardly extending flange. The radially outwardly extending flange abuts a surface of the housing surrounding the opening of the housing thereby setting an axial position of the at least one gear relative to the opening of the housing.
