Tim, will the Loctite stuff seep into the joint while the motor is assembled? How do you get it unstuck? Heat it?
I'm a systems engineer on this one (i.e., I don't know the answer, but I do know who to ask). I suggested it because when I used to do controls for electro-mechanical systems, whenever there was a shaft-retaining problem someone would suggest 609 or 648, and all the mechanical guys would go "Ooooh -- that'll hold it!". Then they'd all get happy and excited until someone said "how's service going to take this apart?" and then they'd get glum again.
According to the folks I asked, trying to wick it into an assembled motor is probably a no-go. Press fits, if they're done correctly, don't allow much room for wicking. Someone did suggest 209, which has very low viscosity -- but that's intended as an after-the-fact threadlocker, and threads generally give you much more space for stuff to wick in. Someone else suggested that 7452 accelerator might wick in, and pull glue in after it. Perhaps you should try it, and then test the joint to see how much force it takes to press the shaft out. Then, when you put it back together you can glue it up correctly
.
I believe that heat is the way to go for disassembly on this.
According to my mechanically-inclined buddies, Locktite 609 or 648 is probably best. Regardless, I think that Locktite is going to be barely sufficient at best.
To a man, they all referred me to Locktite's excellent product selection page:
