Need rear axle bearing retainer

I have a 1983 and am replacing the rear axle. The parts store has the bearing and seal, but does not have a replacement retainer. Where do I get a retainer? Or, does it come with the bearing and the parts department doesn't know it?

you need to buy from Mazda, 8531-26-152 for an 83.

That's weird. Most bearings come with a retainer, like the one I got from RockAuto.

You are correct. I had the parts guy enlarge his schematic, and it appears the retainer will be included. Thanks for the responses. The parts arrive in the morning.
