My one way bearing outer race slipped in the housing during inverted hover yesterday. For a repair I didn't add a set screw, however I faced the top of the aluminum housing .005" so the bearing race is pinched. I'm wondering if the housing is designed to have an axial interference fit or did they intend for the loctite only to hold?

If you look at the design where the six screws hold the race in there is a gap on the inside so when they get tightened down they should snug down on the top of the one way sleeve. So I think the answer to your question is yes.

Thanks Mystic,
I noticed the cap has a raised foot outside of the bolt circle. As found condition didn't allow for a good clamping action so I cut .005" from the top of the hub where the cap fits. After one flight with full pitch pumps and tumbles at 2050 RPMs it is still holding.
