The first axial end is closed by a disc-shaped member having a first diameter. The tubular surface has an outer surface having a second diameter. The second axial end has a flange-shaped rim portion having a third diameter. The first diameter and the third diameter are greater than the second diameter. The disc-shaped member has an outer surface that is knurled. A plug shaped member is slidably received in the sleeve member.
