[TR] [Spits] What's the next gearbox move????

[Clark W. Nicholls]

Trying to do all this in my head from 20-year ago memory without the parts
in front of me...

If the input shaft is out and the counter cluster is dropped to the bottom
of the case and the rear clip is off the mainshaft outside the bearing......

Can you pound carefully on the rear end of the mainshaft with a 2x4 to
protect the threads (or something else likewise) to increase the clearance
between the rear gears and the bearing? 
Be sure the gears don't interface with the counter cluster!

Then move the mainshaft rearwards and bring the bearing out of the case.
You may need to insert something between the rear gear and the bearing to
prevent the mainshaft reassuming it's original position.

Slide the bearing off the mainshaft.
You need to remove the speedo drive gear first.

Now you can tip the mainshaft up and remove
-Or-
Remove the clip holding the front gears on the mainshaft and remove some to
allow you to tip up and remove.

Something like that...
