Make a drill jig and it won't be very difficult. Locate the jig using the OD of the shaft, and the existing dowel hole (visually). Add a pilot hole in the jig 180 degrees away. Bolt it on, drill, and ream. Done. I could do the entire thing in under two hours, including making the jig.
Or do it the way Grady suggested. Either will be fine.
You don't even have to ream it. Use a roll pin rather than a dowel.
