Loctite 660 saved my bacon on my GT6+ front hubs. it takes quite a while
to set if the gap is large though. If the race is so loose you can "rattle
it around" you have a problem. If it just spins/ slips out, the 660 will do
just fine. Remember, all that is needed is to keep the race from spinning,
as it is held in place.
Someplace else I say that there is also different "grades" of 660 or
equivalent, some designed for bigger gaps as I described.
Everybody should have a bottle of Loctite blue, 660 (also called bearing
retaining compound), and small screw threadlocker (fer them damn leeny
weeny SU screws, etc)
