Which bearing retaining compound (Loctite) ??

[Ehanson]

I have seen a fix in the past where you take a "prick" punch all around where the bearing race rests, each dimple raises the metal slightly tightening up the race in its bore once installed. You can also use loctite as well to get a reasonable fix.
not as good as welding and boring, but good enough!

.007" MY GOD don't be ridiculous, find the right bearing.

I agree with Fred. Your replacement bearing is the wrong OD. I would speak with a bearing expert.

Exactly what I always do. Old school is still as good as new school.

I'll back that up with Detroit Diesel anaerobic sealant just in case.

All bearings have an etched in catalog number you can cross reference using the Internet or a bearing catalog like SKF or Timken.

Find the correct interference. Loctite works well but constantly in oil not so.

Did all that. Motion Industries and Interstate Bearing systems actually told me to call Loctite after I also checked with every local auto parts store.
So I did and they told me to use 680.
So, . . . then find that locally that is not in a pint bottle for $40 that is a one year life date that I will never use again. Motion Industries came to my rescue with 2 single serving capsule type thingies for $2 each !
Tapped them in and within a couple minutes I could tell it was setting up. But the tiny bit left over that is just exposed to air never stiffened up even the next morning.
Anaerobic. Weird stuff.
Haven't been able to get back to that project since Friday night so I'm curious if the left over ever did thicken. I guess this is not an uncommon scenario, just that I never had to "glue" a bearing in. Loctite and the 2 suppliers were completely confident that it will work.

Loctite cures when it is exposed to metal ions. It doesn't cure in air although it may form a crust in air. BTW, I'd be very surprised if gluing in an wheel bearing worked. It might in a bicycle, or lawn mower but I wouldn't trust it in a car. Maybe it would last long enough to get it somewhere to be fixed properly.
