Assuming you completely sheared the pin the secures the input gear to the input shaft follow these steps:
1 drill out the old retaining pin from all parts.
2 find the next size allen key/wrench that is just barely too big to fit in the holes you just cleaned out.
3 take a dremel with a cutting wheel and ever so slightly grind some of the edges off of the allen key/wrench...keep doing this until you can eventually force the allen key/wrench into the holes. It stands to reason that when grinding the key/wrench, make sure you grind more from the front (point of insertion) and less from the rear....kinda like a tent peg.
4 cut the key off at the gear collar and grind & file to perfection.
5 for added retention, carefully apply a dab of JB Weld on both sides where the new pin (allen ke/wrench) is visible. let it dry/cure per instructions.
6 clean and file to perfection using fine jewelers file.
