The Attempt at a Solution
I understand the shaft is being held by a clearance fit and the question is essentially asking how do you stop the gear from slipping off. I'm thinking you'd have to use a bearing to allow the gear to rotate freely around the shaft. I'm not sure if this is correct or if I'm looking at this the wrong way.
