Sounds like you are missing the drive gear retainer ring rather than a bad drive gear. It is only accessible from the front of the torque tube, which means pulling the rear axle assembly to gain access. Even if it is only a faulty drive gear, you'd still have to pull the axle assembly to gain access.
