Use a block similar to this to aid in removing a mandrel saver.

On some lathes, like my Oneway lathe and other larger lathes,  my mandrel saver will not eject when I turn my tail stock quill all the way.   The mandrel saver length it too short.  To remedy this, I made a block of wood that would go over the tail stock quill and “eject” the mandrel saver when I turned the quill all the way.  This sure beats using a screwdriver to drive the mandrel saver out!
