Hi Guys,

I started putting my loewr unit back together and I have two things to ask you about.

1. When I was installing new seals in the upper section of the lower unit these U shaped wires fell out of it. I have no idea what they are. Check out the picture below.

2. The race for the pinion gear is very loose. Not falling out loose, but I can remove it by hand. Once it is in place I can not feel any side to side play. Is this normal?
