ABSTRACT:
A retainer embodying the concepts of the present invention is adapted for releasably securing a splined radially innermost rotatable member to a splined radially outermost rotatable member. The retainer so secures the rotatable members in order to preclude relative axial displacement therebetween. The retainer has a body portion. A first stop surface is presented from the body portion to engage one of the rotatable members and thereby preclude relative axial movement between the body portion and that rotatable member in one axial and directional frame of reference. A first dog extends outwardly from the body portion to engage the same rotatable member engaged by the first stop surface and thereby preclude relative axial movement between the body portion and that rotatable member in the opposite axial and directional frame of reference. A second stop surface is presented from the body portion to engage the second of the rotatable members and thereby preclude relative axial movement between the body portion and the second rotatable member in one axial and directional frame of reference. A second dog extends outwardly from the body portion to engage the second rotatable member and thereby preclude relative axial movement between the body portion and the second rotatable member in the opposite axial and directional frame of reference. The dogs are adapted releasably to engage the rotatable members.
