That turned out to be planet gears.
Obviously had a fair amount of strain on it but certainly wasn't mistreating it.
I have literally just spoke with him and his confirmed everything I believe and explained how the planet gears actually work which makes things easier to understand.
I'm not getting into an argument on here or anything, I will text later mate to discuss.
