Sandy:
The roll pin is mounted through the groove around the carrier where the
fork pins engage. I believe it's primary purpose is to prevent the
carrier from rotating in the fork while the release bearing is rotating.
I also believe this was added in later bearing sleeves. The original on
my TR6 did not have this - but the replacement from TRF did. The
carrier should be installed on the fork/input shaft with the pin in the
"up" position.
