Abstract
A planet carrier for a planetary gear set includes a pair of carrier plates. A planet gear is positioned between the carrier plates of the pair of carrier plates. A pin extends between the carrier plates of the pair of carrier plates through the planet gear such that the planet gear is rotatable relative to the carrier plates of the pair of carrier plates on the pin. A retainer is removably mounted to one of the pair of carrier plates. The pin is positioned against the retainer at the one of the pair of carrier plates. The pin may be rotatable relative to the carrier plates of the pair of carrier plates.
