[QUOTE="Howard, post: 23968, member: 271"] [URL]http://www.loctite.sg/sea/content_data/93769_Loctite_648_Retaining_Compound.pdf[/URL] Seems like I'm out on my own. I can't argue with any of the comments, and agree totally with doing the job right first time, but if you need to gain some time until a proper rebuild, try Loctite. We old duffers forget that aeroplanes are "glued together" now, ships propellors are "glued" on prop shafts, autmotive gears are "glued" on shafts etc etc. Redbloak didn't mention an oval bore, if it's oval an oversized spindle won't be the answer without machining the case to match. Loctite 648 needs heating to 200 C plus to remove. Yes, in an ideal world strip the engine, have the case bored accurately, and a spindle made to suit - Redbloke's question was "is there a suitable Loctite?" H ps My view maybe UK tainted. We are already in May of a very short (good weather ?) riding season. The good workshops are always busy and could take up to 2 months to do the work. [/QUOTE]
