lynnmor 7,356 #1 Posted December 15, 2016 I finally had a chance to repair my 1997 520H transmission crack. I had recently fitted hubs and now pulled them to replace the left side case. Since the axles and hubs were less than perfect, I used Loctite 609 to make a better fit. If the fit allows movement, it doesn't matter how tight you make the set screws they will work loose as the hub rocks on the axle. You would think that the Loctite 609 would make hub removal nearly impossible, but they came off like they would have had a light press fit. The Loctite forms a plastic "shim" and doesn't make a tight bond to metal. This is the first time using my newly made hub puller and it worked great. In the photos you will see the hub puller in action, slivers of the Loctite and a flat that I milled on the axle for the set screw. I'll do a separate post on the crack. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
