X2, Dropping a dab of "glue" on the shaft sounds easy till you get there

What I do sounds more scary but its not, I notch the shaft with a small set of bolt cutters. You can get the jaws right where they need to be, then a GENTLE controlled, squeeze and shaft is notched just right. then force the gear back into position. Ive done several like this with no problem. If you screw up with the supper glue the problem would most likely be worse then replacing a gear shaft.
