I know I'm forgetting some details here because I didn't do this myself, but when I find out exactly how we fixed it I'll repost.
We stacked washers on both sides of the gear. Even if the push nut comes off, the gear and key cannot because the plate on the far side will not let the washers slip off the motor shaft. The last washer has to be larger than the hole in the far side plate.
