I may have to cut the tube hole on the top slightly bigger. When i looked at the dimensions in solidworks, the gear is 1.8 inches in diameter, and the space in the tube is 1.8. So theoretically the gear can be slid down inside the tube, but it depends on the tolerances of the tube and gear when they are actually made.
