I am sending you a new way and cheap side to built the gearbox and attaché the  planet system.
I am using a combined needle bearing INA NKX45 on the front the other trust bearing a needle AXK60x85x3 on the bigger size axle shaft I will install a brass bushing, the planet is been hold by height temper treaded modified bolts and locked after assembly with spot weld on the exceeded part treads or pressure pin true the heads.
The cv shaft need excess of steel been removed after normalize on the milling or lathe with grinding wheel.
This is a very accessible and cheap way for the gear box need, I follow the size to meet the Jeff plate dimension.

Looks like you pressed the planet carrier shafts out and sheared the  retaining roll pins.
Surprisingly and apparently that works :-)

Looks like you are going to replace them with a hardened and  ground down sholder bolt.

Good Idea. That should cut the cost somewhat as there is no need to EDM
a hole in the planets shafts.
