On my GT6 the inside bearing DOES ride on the Hub, not the axel. I think
that your suggestion to use Loctite should work OK here. The ware is very
small.

I did as you suggest to the the bearing races out of the cast upright
piece. The question is how to get the Inside bearing race-of of the
outside bearing off of the wheel hub.
It looks like one will have to use a special plate that clamps around the
hub in conjunction with a press to get it off. There is only about 1/16
inch of the sholder of the bearing race that can be push/pryed, but this is
right up against the inside of the wheel flange part of the hub. 'no way
to get in there, except perhaps "right tool" clamp plate designed to use
with a press in removing axel type bearings.
