Differential Planet Gears

Thanks Ian. I think I have a scrap carrier so I may try heaving one out. It looks like some kind of split pin? It might be possible to disassemble and replace with a new fastener, but like many of these jobs it may be better left alone unless one has confidence one can improve it.

The pins wobble slightly when the carrier is apart, but not noticeably when the thing is assembled; much as I'd love to put it right I'm inclined to agree it will be more work than it's worth...
