Not sure if covered before, but I learnt the hard way that you need to drill out the staked points on retainer.
Just use a 3mm drill to depth of about 4mm.
Otherwise the threads get damaged and retainer difficult to remove.

May need to gently warm outer hub with hot are gun so it expands to make easier.
If threads do get damaged use a thread tap with same pitch as a scraper to clean up.
I bought a new genuine retainer and it would not screw in.
After cleaning threads with a tap it went in fine.

I was annoyed with myself as in most other applications you can remove without drilling out :-[

I have one at the moment that will not move, even with the right tool. Someone has put retainer on the thread >:(
