Is LOCTITE 609 permanent?
None of these retaining compounds are permanent but like I said, the bond can be strong enough that there is the potential for knocking out just the inner race (along with the ball bearings) upon removal, leaving the outer race still in the shell.
What is 609 LOCTITE used for?
LOCTITE® 609 is designed for the bonding of cylindrical fitting parts. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration. Typical applications include rotor to shafts in fractional and subfractional horsepower motors.

Does LOCTITE 609 go bad?
According to Loctite’s manufacturer, Henkel, Loctite (loctiteproducts.com) does go bad. Like Henkel, however, Permatex says that its products have a shelf life of two years.
Can Loctite 609 be used on threads?
Loctite 609 is the one I use and it works well. 290 is a thread lock, not bearing retainer. I’ve found green at Napa and a old fashioned hardware store.
What is the strongest Loctite?
LOCTITE® Red Threadlocker
LOCTITE® Red Threadlocker is the highest strength. This product cures fully in 24 hours and is available in both a liquid and as a semisolid anaerobic. The red products are so powerful that they require heat to be disassembled.
Will acetone remove Loctite?
Cyanoacrylate glues like Loctite Super Glue Liquid are specially formulated to create powerful, durable bonds with all kinds of surfaces. This will soften the glue. Dip the affected area in an acetone-based nail polish remover. Let the area dry.
What is the difference between Loctite 609 and 620?
High oil tolerance. Loctite 609 : High strength methacrylate ester acrylic retaining compound designed for the bonding of cylindrical fitting parts. Loctite 620 : LOCTITE 620 is designed for the bonding of cylindrical fitting parts.
Is T47 better than BB90?
Is T47 genuinely better? BB90 is a system that looks elegant on paper, but one that relies on very tight tolerances and liable to problems if the bearing seats suffer from wear. T47 should, at least in principle, be easier to live with.
How long should a BB90 last?
Simple rule is (unless you’re starting a long trip) “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. Do normal maintenance, keep things properly lubed and your BB should last for another 4,000 miles or more.
