Thought so too - thanks

Thanks Bigjeeze - thought that might be the case. Does the spring clip just slide up to it?

Hi. I have a Ford Galaxy 1.9 tdi 2002 - I am currently replacing the stub shaft from the transmission due to spline wear - I have bought a replacement but I need your help. When I removed the stub shaft from the transmission housing the tiny brass coloured ring disintegrated (not in the box, thank goodness), problem is I didn't see which way it went round. Should this have the bevelled edge/side pointing into the flange cap and spring or should it be pointing to the end of the spline? Also does the grooves on this locate in anything inside the trans? Any advice appreciated.
