Rear stub axle bearing replacement

[js43lotus]

Can someone direct me to the correct archieve posting about the use of Loctite to set the bearings in teh hub carrier? I found several posts about using loctite on the tapered hub, but I was told there is a post by Chris Huit (spelling) describing differing Loctite products to address varying amounts of play between the bearing outer race and the aluminum housing at assembly.

Is it this one:

?

I had a similar issue when reassembling hubs last year.

I found that the inboard bearing was a "snug" fit (could be drifted in and out fairly easily but not moved by hand) but the outboard bearing was much freeer (no perceptible play, but could be easily pushed in and out by hand).

In the end I used Loctite 641 on the inboard bearing and Loctite 638 on the outboard one. So far, no evidence of any movement (but that was only about 1000 miles ago).
