Loctite bearing retainer? Awesome stuff. Thumbs Up

I used it to sort out a rear wheel bearing that was no longer a proper interference fit and was rotating in the housing under load. Years later it's still holding as tight as ever - I'm dreading having to replace it although some judiciously applied heat should do the job.


Loctite High Strength Retaining Compound. Does wot it sez on the bottle.
I was fitting new bearings in the lift arms of a Caterpillar wheel loader. The bearing bores of the frame (Bucket Control Arm) was wallied oot and the customer didn't have time to line bore the frame.
I suggested retaining compound as a get-around temporary fix as I had it in the van.
Lift cyl. Bearings slipped in perfectly.
I fecked up on the Tilt cyl. and had to remove the bearings after fitting.
I had to go back to the depot for hydraulic puller to pull the hoowuring bearing back out. Shocked
Customer was very impressed.
We got the job of line boring about two months later. Still had to remove all the bearings using hydraulic pullers.
Equipment was loading trucks and a conveyor belt hopper at a Sand Quarry.

I use loctite pipe sealant when I have it. If used, as directed, it seals better than thread tape.
There are similar products but having used many others and observed their limitations, I only use Loctite sealants.
And Loctite Threading compounds.

Study the tech info on the Loctite website for the best results too.

I was put onto Permabond products by our local bearing factors. Comparable price to loctite but you get a much bigger bottle and they tend to smell nice.
