Haudi and happy holidays to all.

How about drilling a coaxial hole from the front and driving it out with a drift? Or threading the hole and screwing it out. Any polymer-based material (epoxy, JB weld, etc) will likely suffer too much creep under the amazing g loads and temps inside the bell housing.
