I only found this out after being show by a team at CMP this year, but the output shaft assembly ( minus bearing block) is actually in two pieces the spline and the output shaft. As I see it, it would be possible to turn down the end of a length of hex shaft to fit into the spline and re-join them.

In regards to your ½ hex socket. Couldn’t you just cut down the length of the ½ hex output shaft to say ½ inch in length then make a single piece coupler say a 20mm aluminium round aluminium rod with a ½ inch hole in it and then hex broached. Then just attach it to the cut down output shaft with a set-screw
