When you "bend" the torque tube in a crash, do you get to re-use the bearing supports?

If they aren't broken, I don't see why not. Bearing also if you can get them off and they aren't notichy.

Instructions say to us medium C/A when placing them. I just wondered if medium loctite/bearing retainer was intended.

No, CA is what they meant to be used. I guess you could use Blue or Red Loctite, then to get the bearings off you can use a heat gun.

It's a little thicker than the Instant, takes a little more time to dry.

So viscosity, not strength.

That's right, strength is the same.

I used Epoxy on mine, it's so much easy to use than CA. You can simply wipe of any suplus, also you don't run the risk of having it wick into the bearings.

I found one of them was so tight I could barely slide it along the tube, only half of the bearing is over the C/A and its 4 or 5mm short of the mark, but I'm not going to try and get it off!
