? about re-installing auto locking hubs
I'm getting ready to put everything back together after getting my new ball joints in. When I started this job and took the end caps off of my auto locking hubs this little metal piece fell out of each of them. It looks like a clip or retainer of some type but I have no idea where it goes! Any of you guys know?

Thats a little retainer that, as best as I can figure, holds the snap ring compressed so the hub just slides on. I believe it is used to make things on the assembly line go faster. I always toss them.
