Hi Dave,

Glad to be of help.
I am still curious why there would be two versions of the grease retainers, mine without the holes, and with the holes as per Eric's photo.

To my logical mind it defeats the purpose of being a grease retainer if it has holes in it, but at some time, some engineer deemed holes necessary and at another time unnecessary.

Question is which version came first?

Perhaps, like some engineering modifications, it does not greatly affect the retainer's functionality one way or the other.

Cheers,
