Default Securing fence post pipe inside a larger one

Hi. The end post of a fence Im installing was too large in diameter so the fence supplier advised me to cut it down and install a smaller diameter pipe inside. Problem is, theres concrete in the larger pipe and the smaller pipe can only sit inside about 6 deep.

Can anyone suggest a specific product for what to put into the larger pipe to secure the smaller one? I was thinking epoxy or even squirt a whole tube of Liquid Nails in there, but really not sure what to put.

Thanks for advice.

Use a hammer drill to drill a 3/8" hole into the concrete inside the
pipe. Drive in a piece of #3 rebar a couple feet high. Pack the big
pipe with grout. Slide the smaller pipe over it and fill the pipe with
grout at least to the top of the rebar.
