Try to find some 5/16"steel brake tubing and a 12" 5/32" drill bit. Install the shaft with 2 bolts. Cut a 2" piece of the tubing insert it in the hole turn the shaft so the hole is to the rear. Run the long drill carefully through the tubing and bolt. Easy out the bolt.

I did 3 like this. I used a square Snapon /Blue point easy out set. I don't like the spiral type they can expand the bolt and lock it up worse.
