## Description

The LOCTITE Automotive Press Fit Repair is a high-strength adhesive designed for quick repairs of worn cylindrical parts, preventing loosening and leakage. This 50 ml solution provides OEM-approved performance, trusted by professionals and tested by leading automotive manufacturers. Formulated for strong and reliable adhesion, it securely bonds press-fit parts, ensuring durable connections. The product effectively fills gaps up to 0.50 mm (0.02 in.) and resists loosening caused by shock and vibration. Ideal for refitting worn shafts, housings, couplings, and repairing worn keyways and set screws, it offers versatile repair applications. With anaerobic curing, it hardens quickly in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces, forming a long-lasting, robust bond.

Review: Does what it should. - I used this for some loose fitting bushing sleeves on a skid steer lift arm. Have a few hundred hours on since and everything is still nice and tight.
Review: Wonder product from our friends at Loctite - Used this to fix a bit of shaft play when replaced bearings on my Whirlpool Duet washing machine. Ordered new bearings (from desertcart of course) and during assembly found the shaft had worn enough that the bearings wouldn't have gotten me all the way back to "fixed". Retaining compound is designed for this very specific application. Use a micrometer to determine your fill gap and order the right Loctite formula for your application. 660 was the right product for my gap, but they make other formulas for tighter and looser fits.
