Help, the old grey matter aint working
Guys
What do you call the stuff you apply to a loose fitting bearing to take up the slop between the bearing and the housing its supposed to be seated
in?
This one I'm working on is so loose it will fall in and out without the circlip!  Never mind pressing it in, I could blow it in with a small
puff!

it's called bearing fit but as above if it is slack you could have a problem which the bearing fit stuff won't cure

Going round the housing with center punch and a hammer will raise the surface slightly and help to grip the bearing was a common practice once upon a
time.

Thanks everyone
I bashed where the bearing will seat to cause some relief for the bearing to grip against. I've also dolloped a load of threadlock round the
bearing and I'm hoping this will go off and hold it!
I'm hopeful rather than confident!

Loctite 638 for low temp or 648 for high temp is what you need.
Engineering Retaining adhesive - strong stuff.
If you go to the loctite website you can get the techy docs for it and it will tell you the max gap etc is will work up to.
