"Bearings assembled with LOCTITE®Retaining Compound can be disassembled with industrystandard bearing disassembly tools and techniques,including bearing pullers and hydraulic presses. Anothertechnique is to heat the parts well above the servicetemperature [to 250°C (482°F) for most products] anddisassemble while the parts are hot."

Sound like good ways to damage or destroy a frame, especially carbon.
My suggestion is with respect to the OP's situation. He said his shell has an alloy sleeve. I do agree that bare carbon is not where common retaining compounds are to be applied. Andy
