Glenn is correct. You cannot disassemble it that way. You are working AGAINST 
the cast iron brake ring, which is held to the other half of the casing via the 
bridge pieces

Take the OD off the gearbox

I just rebuilt 3 of these in the past month. If what you ae referring to in 
your photos's is the Cast Iron Brake Plate.  It is tapered and your working 
against the brake or clutch drum which has a taper that matches the brake plate.

 

I find it easiest to separate the Overdrive from the transmission first and 
take things in order from where it attaches to the transmission on to the 
driveshaft flange (last)

 

Remember the cast iron brake plate probably has Permatex # 3 or super 300 to 
help it seal (no gasket like the J type) and it takes some tapping with a large 
punch to get it free.

 

Have fun mating the transmission back to the Overdrive. Make sure you don't 
force it and line up the 2 splines in the O/D

Your photo shows the brake ring still stuck in the rear housing.  It has to
be tapped loose, using the protruding ears, before the housing can come off.
