If you are talking the outer ring/retainer that holds the sprints and

DON'T take it out.  No need to.  There is a setscrew holding it in, but
I seem to recall there is more to it than that, and a special procedure for
getting it in straight.

They have grooves in the friction material, if you can still see them, and
they are even all the way around, they are probably OK.
