The advantage of this medium is it doesn't hang around and continue to abrade but slowly disintegrates on use. I have used it successfully in doing exactly the same job as you suggest when overcoming a tight Riley 9 steering box..

This is excellent stuff for this job, I second Hugh’s recommendation.
The gear will come off but you will likely require heat, a strong reinforced box section jig to hold the gear and a press.
