Well seeing as you have nothing to lose get a mobile welder man to weld the circlip in place.

never know might sort you out properly.

hmmmmm, might it also be an idea to cut off the tab on the thrust washer before welding in the circlip as you said in a previous post that the sunwheel grabs the thrust washer which forces the circlip to pop.

to prevent the thrust washer just getting shattered once the circlip is welded in u need it to rotate if the sunwheel grabs it.

but yes good idea, certainly easier to weld it then changing out the box.
