This is probably the lightest way to do this, and it also doesn't weaken the shaft at all.
When using hex shaft, it's a little difficult to slide the snap rings designed for 1/2" round shafts over the 1/2" hex shafts. It might be worth using a metric sized snap ring/groove.

Instead of snap rings, you can use e-clips. They mount from the side, so you don't have to slide them.
