Live Center bearing
My Live Center bearing is pulling out of the housing. Should I use JB Weld to keep it in the housing?

Live Center bearing
I use LocTite Red for permanent holding. The item can be removed with a lot of pressure. I use LocTite Blue for set screws, nuts, screws and items that I may want to remove some day. Loctite makes many different products for holding metal items together. LocTite make a bearing holding/retaining product too.beeg wrote:My Live Center bearing is pulling out of the housing.

Thanks Bill, I'll have to look for the loctite blue or the bearing holding product.

The loctite blue is the threadlocker and the numbers are 222 and 242, with 242 being a little stronger. Do not use around lexan as it will attack and weaken it.
