Bearing race loose in housing - ideas pls.

[snarling bee]

We are changing all the bearings and seals in a Kuhn 6m power harrow splitter gearbox.
One bearing race in the gearbox housing can be turned by hand, otherwise it is not loose, the old one was split. I'm not sure the old trick of centre punching the race is good enough for this job. Is there a metal on metal 'glue' that would fix the race to the housing that you would recommend?
TIA

Loctite

Loctite 609 is the one I've used before with a spinning race.

useless if the gap is big cause it doesn't go off, unless you use an activator of cause.

have it mashed out then sleeve it. Most two pack compounds are only go with high temps for short periods of time and all start to fail at 150c your 6m power harrow could hit that in a hard year fixing it when you shod be using it is hard work

Mid season quick fix is centre punch and bearing grade loctite, or if you have the time machine it out and sleeve it/weld it up and re-bore it.

Is it a taper roller? Not uncommon in a gearbox for a race to turn in housing as long as it’s not slack I would not worry.

There is a green loctite for large gaps. De grease it well and bearing too. Just don’t expect to get it out again easy. Once it sets which is fast it’s not moving. Have used it a few times when pullers or bearing won’t stay put.
