spinningmagnets: You may be right..I know I would rather see Loctite used then a heavy press fit that might effect the operation of the one way bearing.
My experience is that Loctite is too much used by artisans but which I've not seen in manufactured products except on bolt threads. It is an easy solution that mostly fails or adds nothing. If the interference fit is correct, and this can be reliably
calculated, it adds nothing. Loctite allows you to widen the tolerance so that when a fit is marginal, it is a solution. However, too often, the fit is too loose for it to make the difference. The common scenario is a shaft that is damaged, perhaps from a seized bearing spinning, or you made something the wrong size. Rather than replacing it, the temptation is to use a bit of Loctite, but whenever I've succumbed to the temptation it proved to be wishful thinking.
