He reported no trouble with going backwards until today.
Could the overdrive have suddenly engaged?
Is overhaul, or at least inspection, of the overdrive covered in the haynes

should be taken apart in a press, presumably to stop them flying everwhere
when the last bolt pulls the last turn of thread?
