Do NOT pull on the input shaft while the bearing retainer is off.

You must replace the retainer in the proper position. There is a small boss which is somewhat rounded - that one goes at 12 o'clock. The other boss is larger and has corners (sort of) and that will be at 6 o'clock. I have seen them put back incorrectly. It must be oriented correctly so the fluid can get to the input shaft bearing.

This bearing retainer is in the CORRECT orientation

This one is INCORRECT.
