I think you might be able to drill out only the flared out section of the shaft and free all the parts. Once the parts are loose, you can fabricate your own shifting arm and shaft. If you have a lathe, you can make another shaft and then thread the shaft on both of its' ends. That way you can secure your replacement shaft to the mounting clamp and snug up all the parts with a washer and a nut on the other end. In theory, is sounds good! Good Luck, Usarnie1 P.S. if you are going to part out your Sprite, I would be interested in purchasing the rear wheel with the left side bell shifter, its' rod, the broken dual shifter, the shifting cable hardware and the shifting cables.
