Having watched Mick Hemmings excellent DVD a few times I notice that he fits the thrust washer (A2/328) direct into the the main gear wheel (with the roller bearings). The good book, on the other hand, shows a retaining washer (Plate TN12 but not given a part number. I'm assuming it's A2/319 - "main gear wheel sleeve bearing roller retaining washer") between the thrust wash and the roller bearings.
Is the retaining washer needed or not?
Help!

Possibly depends..

Laydown, Ian. So if I understand you correctly it needs the retaining washer?

BTW - I realise all this cropped up a few years ago but that thread didn't address the query as to why a washer is shown in the diagram but Mick Hemmings doesn't mention it? Very confusing!
