A rolling element bearing (REB) cage is configured to guide and to position the plurality of planet bearing rollers so that the plurality of planet bearing rollers are equally spaced apart, the REB cage having an inner diameter surface facing the planet pin and an outer diameter surface facing opposite to planet pin. An outer diameter guide ring is disposed radially outward of the outer diameter surface to hold the REB cage.
