Just a hint, loctite can be released with the gentle (or not so gentle) application of heat! If you ever need to change your mind, just use a heat gun or propane torch to heat up the joint a bit. The expansion of the cog combined with the thermal destruction of the loctite should let you remove it. Even the 'permanent' loctite will succumb to this treatment.

If you end up having to use more than a gentle shot of heat from a heatgun, check your bearings afterwards, since you may have cooked the grease out.

peace,
sam
