[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dgoodlander Check the Loc-tite web site for a special adheasive they have for shafts. I have some but I don't remember the exact name/number. Its made for exactly this application, of course its for industrial applications, but it works fine.[/quote] You can buy [url="http://www.globalstoresgroup.com/page/industrial-supplies/PROD/loctite-threadlocking/442-23977"]Loctite thread locker[/url] at any auto parts store. There are different grades of strengths. You want the thread locker, not the sealer. Be sure to degreese the shaft and gear first. You can try to knurl the shaft by placing the shaft in a vice with teeth and horse it down tight enough to leave marks and burrs on it. Then press the gear back on.
