Glueing the bearings in Tailbox

[Knud Pedersen DENMARK]

Does you glue the ball bearing for the front input shaft in the tailgearbox?
I glue them with a very small amount of Loctite 243 – but this makes it difficult to disassembling the gearbox…..
I have to heat up the front og the box.....

I have now made a tool to pull out the front shaft……

PS: It is the closed tailgear box

I have never loctited the bearings to the gear box on the input shaft. That is where the adjustment of the mesh is made. So it would be difficult to adjust the mesh periodicially if the outer race of the bearings are loctited to the gear box. I do loctite the outer race of the bearings on the output shaft to the gear box.
