    I think I see the missing needle. It’s now part of the crank and the race half!

    Indeed it is! When I first opened the case, I saw the needles in the one retainer were all chewed up and thought “that’s not good”. Then saw the missing needle in the other retainer and thought “that’s really not good”.
