Ouch. I feel for you man.
When the OWB on my Pro .15 started going out, I just disassembled the pull start, took a random torx bit and shoved it inside the OWB shaft. Then a small mig tack on both sides, and I had a hex shaft on which I could start an engine.
Granted, it wasn't one way, and in order for the engine to actually run, you had to pull it off right when it caught, but it worked a hell of a lot better than a one-way.
After about 10 times, I finally learned to feel my engine and was able to pull it off without stalling it out.
