Clamp this collet in the 3-jaw with the pulleystock inside, and it should work.

We do this on the fly probably 5 times per season for various parts.
We've previously done this, but with a thicker wall. We then bandsaw a slit into the side of it so it can fully collapse.

You're introducing some runout when you do this, but we generally only did this when we wanted to face hubs off of sprockets or gears, where runout didn't matter.
