Thanks for the welcome!
Everything I have seen also shows 2 set screws! I’ve only seen the hole for the 1 set screw, and there are 2 of the “rivets” that I had pictured in the album. I’m wondering if a video showing all sides of the gear would help…
I actually have tried hammering down on the top and only ended up denting the shaft. I was worried I’d do more harm than good if I kept at it, as I want to fit a new gear on there if I can help it.
