<div>Just finished another A Type Overdrive rebuild this afternoon. Next one I do I'm going to insist that the owner bring a spare 4 speed for parts or maybe 2.</div>

<div>I very rarely find an overdrive transmission that the layshaft bearing next to 1st that hasn't walked and tried to escape the case through the thrust bearing. I have tried in vane to remove the laygear with one that ground its way into the thrust bearing and sometimes the case. I sometimes get the laygear out but in most cases the trans case with the laygear is sent to scrap.</div>

<div>Does anyone have a solution, trick, special tool, to ease the laygear out. The normal way is to remove the small thust bearing with a magnet so you can tilt the laygear enough to get it out. I have even once resorted to a " Slugger Slide Hammer" and chain wrapped around the laygear to get it out. Didn't end well however.</div>

<div>I did read somewhere that someone is using a tapered roller bearing on that end which would make more sense than the original design.</div>

<div>Please advise</div>

<div>Thanks in advance</div>
