    Kw v1 fitting- no top mount bearing?

    Does anyone know if the kw's use the standard bearing? The top mount fits perfectly but that is only without the bearing put in, would seem strange if that's the case but anyone have an answer? No way I can see how the bearing fits into the kw's purple cup?
