Well folks, finally got the spider gears out of the vehicle, but now
have one more question. Someone told me that the carrier that houses
the gears needs to be replaced. How do I know for sure if I need a new
carrier. No obvious breaks nor pitting. They thought it had too much
play where the new shaft pin would be going. Please assist. I have
gotten better info here than anywhere else. What should I be looking
for? Thanks.

If you were told by someone who saw it that it had too much play then it
will be about impossible for anyone in a usenet forum to tell you anything
otherwise. We can't see the parts, did not see or measure the play, etc.
Can you perhaps describe the play that was observed? Maybe share what the
other person said specifically about the play?

If the pin is snug the carrier is fine. You said it sheered the lock bolt.
Did it scar up the pin hole where the bolt sheered?
