A method for attaching a plastic barrel configured to guide an output shaft of a mechanical device to a housing of said mechanical device, said housing comprising a chimney delimited by an upper edge and a base, said chimney being arranged to partially surround the output shaft, the plastic barrel comprising a lateral protuberance, the method comprising:
inserting a first end of the plastic barrel into the chimney of the housing until the lateral protuberance-axially abuts against the upper edge of the chimney; and
at least partially deforming the first end of the plastic barrel in order to form an axial counter-abutment.
