Randall, you mentioned Loctite "circular parts mount".  I don't see a loctite
product that seems to match.  Recall the product name?
SKF recommends a "light layer of a non-hardening sealant".  Are they talking
about JB Weld or other?

Thanks!

they don't have that particular application listed.  I've had good luck using
a sleeve that was listed for a shaft some .010" larger than the one I had;
used some Loctite "circular parts mount" under it and it sealed fine.

supports it.  On my Chevy, that bore was plain cast iron, and it wore
oversize, allowing the equivalent piece (the Chevy didn't use a flange, just a
CV joint) to wobble around.
