I have tried everything from Loctite to Super Glue to Epoxy.
Loctite was hit and miss even thought the brass and shaft
were thouroughly cleaned prior to assembly.
Steve, what type of Loctite did you use? There are a number of different
types of Loctite for different applications. What you want is Loctite 640
Sleeve Retainer. Here is the description from the Technical Data Sheet:
Quote:
Product 640 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 filling inner voids in close fitting press fits, keyways,
and splines; mounting bearings and bushings, and making
press fits even stronger

It is imperative that the parts be absolutely clean and **grease-free**. I
recommend that you use automotive brake cleaner (or similar solvent) to
remove all traces of grease, oil, and cutting fluids.
Here are the assembly instructions for press-fit parts:
Quote:
For Press Fitted Assemblies, apply adhesive thoroughly
to both bond surfaces and assemble at high press on
rates.

Allow to cure for at least 24 hours before handling.
