I was about to install my bearing carrier on my 130 yamaha and noticed when I looked inside there were three shims. They are all bent so I need to replace them. Do they go in any special order or have to add up to a certain number when buying new ones. I do not have a caliper or something that measures metric. They look like they only will effect the reverse gear. Thanks

hello<br /> straighten them out carefully and place them back. use a dab of vasoline to help hold them. as the carrier is torqued into place they will flatten out. no worries
