My way of thinking is this. As much trouble it is to get there I’d replace it then you have no worries. But that’s just me.

The pictures are a bit fuzzy and don’t show all sides of each gear section, but if the gear teeth are all very similar to what we can see, I believe that gear is very usable. Provided the inside bores (where the roller bearings ride) are not scuffed or pitted.
