A gear assembly (12/62/112) is coupled to the output shaft to transfer driving force from an input to the output shaft. The gear assembly includes an output gear (20/68/118) that is directly coupled to the output shaft. Thus, the wheel adapter and output gear are both supported directly on the output shaft. The gear assembly and output shaft are substantially enclosed within a housing (14/90/102/148) that is mounted to a non-rotating vehicle component. The output shaft is solely supported by a pair of bearings for rotation relative to the housing. The bearings are installed for direct engagement with the output shaft and housing.",
