sleeve retainer

[jives]

Hi all;
I've determined the best way to get my new bearings to tightly fit into my garden tractor wheel hub is by using sleeve retainer adhesive (e.g., Loctite green sleeve). The inside of the hubs are pretty worn, preventing a tight friction fit.

My question is how "permanent" will this be? Bearings can usually be knocked out from the backside with a punch and a couple of hammer blows. If I use the sleeve retainer adhesive, will that be difficult or near impossible?

They shouldn't be much more difficult.

Even if they hard stuck tight, a little heat from a torch will release the Loctite.

I've used Loctite Green a few times where disassembly was needed. While it was secure it was not that hard to knock them out.
