[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 36740, member: 2781"] This quickie tip is helpful in a pinch where a costly repair is impossible , or beyond reach . Where you find an outer race has lost its fit , not firmly gripped in the case . Two criteria are set . Where its just able to be turned with ones finger tips but no actual wobble can be felt . And where it can just be slid into the case but no movement is possible , no spin at all . With ALL surfaces super clean , case and race truly degreased . Hands clean . In the first instance , race can be turned round , --- a light smear over both surfaces , the od of the race and the alloy case both wetted with high strength Loctite , it's quickly slid fully in and let sit 24 hours . The other situation , everything clean as described , the loose race is entered all the way . A bead of Loctite is applied round the entire joint , a small hammer or other tool is tapped lightly around the nearby metal surface to set up vibrations , promote the wicking into and around the joint . Watch for this and apply a bit more to maintain the bead around the joint . It is the absence of air that sets up the hardening process . For what it's worth , this has worked for us several times , acheved a permanent fix . Sid . [/QUOTE]
