Hi i just change the clutch friction plates on my fj 1100. But inside there was some Steel wire, holding the last Steel plate. The wire broke when try to mount again. What function Does it has? Can i just use ordinary Steel wire? See link below.

That wire was used by the factory for assembly, it is no longer needed. Some find it already broken and mangled.
