You don't! I had a "senior moment" and didn't take in to consideration that they are both tapered.
Now that I think about it a bit, I suppose it may be possible to create a "double-ended" reamer/cutter that could be put in place of the pinion shaft, the two sides properly aligned, and then "expanding" the cutter to cut both tapers at the same time. 'Course that doesn't help this situation any.
Just ignore me,
