A retainer for a power take-off assembly includes a flange and a body defining a first end surface, a second end surface, and a first through-hole. The body includes a pilot feature extending at least partially through the body and radially offset from a central axis. A first portion of the pilot feature extends axially outwards from the second end surface. The pilot feature defines a second through-hole. The retainer also includes a dowel coupled with the body and at least partially disposed in the first through-hole. A second portion of the dowel extends axially outwards from the second end surface of the body. The dowel defines a third through-hole that is in alignment with the first through-hole of the body. The retainer allows removable coupling of a flywheel housing of the power take-off assembly with a plurality of gears associated with the power take-off assembly.
