With the proper tools now in hand work on the drive can now continue.
I locked the bad driver in the NWSL quartering jig and drilled through the back of the driver, just short of halfway into the axle.
Then the gear and axle bearing were reinstalled in place, and a scrap of brass rod was epoxied in the hole drilled earlier. And yes, I did recheck the gauge and quarter over and over before I glued the rod in.
When that was all cured, I cut and filed the nub of the rod flush with the back of the driver.. I don't think it will be coming out of quarter again.
