Check the "Hat" for hairline cracks in the area machined for the heads of the bolts that attach the ring gear (look very carefully). If they are present they will allow the spring pressure to be inconsistant and the hat will eventually fracture, causing huge damage. If you have it apart, time is well spent with a die grinder smoothing out all the sharp edges and corners.
