loose bearing race - K/H disc hub

66fs said

Matters not. Never needed any certifications. Worked in quality and the shop getting my degree. Got invited to work on some of the coolest stuff in the world. Busy all my life up to today by former employers, who I still help out. Only used your loctite in one design, where there was no room to do it right. Worked ok in that application. I know a little about: parts, problem identification and problem resolution, and what I want the next guy, doing maintenance, to put up with next time. I did that for a few years before going into design. Are you going to etch that you used loctite to set the race in that hub, or just let him find out the hard way. No I would not use loctite, I like the way the Chrysler designed it.

It is interesting that some argue that Loctite 660 is not appropriate to use to hold a wheel bearing race in place because it will never hold up, and others argue that it is inappropriate to use as an unknowing person would never be able to get the race back out.
Concerning the never being able to be the race out, if I was in the position of not being able to get a race out, I would be going to one of two common solutions:
1) generally heating the area around the retainer which causes the metal to expand and the race to become free, in this case a temp above 500 would release the Loctite.
2) Hitting the race with a MIG, that causes the race to expand and crack. And in this case the heat put into the race would also release the Loctite.

So no special notes or instructions would be needed as the escalating repair procedures that should be used address the issue.
