It comes in a tube and will withstand up to 400deg. The problam is to get the new bearing centered to stop the noise in the tranny. [Reply]  [No Email]

The divots will tightened up the tolerances some - try to make several divots and keep them somewhat evenly spaced. I would also use some of that bearing locktite liquid product mentioned in other posts as well since its inside a transmission and probably not real easy to get to again so any insurance that you can add is beneficial in the long run.

If a little thicker "glue" is what you need caterpillar sells a high strenghth retaining compound that also works awesome. I use both sepending on circumstances at work. [Reply]  [No Email]

LOL. Shims will work or a dab of gasket maker like silicone will do it or JB weld any and or all will do the trick [Reply]  [No Email]
