The drive gear being held by clamp force friction seems an odd way to do things but now I know! Thank you for following up. I'll work on this and report back. Thanks Again ,Angus

You're Welcome .

They went with that clamp design b/c a speed head takes very little force to be driven.....

..and knowing this allows the experienced tech to know when the flange nut is loose.
