there should be no way apart from metal fatigue/failure that this should occur, that i can see anyway

To answer your question salt, no he didn't
He gave the original installers a 2nd go as it was covered under a warranty. He did though get bent over for an additional installation fee but I'm sure if it fails again the workbench in his shed will be getting used to do a rebuild

So the retaining Pin in the cage you guys are talking about, WAS STILL IN PLACE when we pulled it further apart yesterday,
Trust me cause i had to use a punch and some decent force to get it out,
Anyone that wants to come and have a look and give an opinion i am more than happy for you to do so,
I believe it is a failure of the pin, but without having much to do with these things i cannot be 100% on this.
Cheers Lee

Wow I really didn't expect that. Yeah the only way this could occur is fatigue or or outright failure through a manufacturing defect. I did notice in one of the photos the shaft has failed along the centre of the hole for the pin which would have been the first failure. That's that's the point of interest.
Can anyone tell me if the pin through the shaft runs parallel or perpendicular to the ring gear?
