Trying to get any type of glue in the right spot is very tricky (if not impossible). If I remember correctly, the use of Loctite was the suggested method on the DG how-to (someone please correct me if I am wrong). I figured out (years ago) that making divots in the shaft with a pair of dikes was a better way than using any type of glue (Loctite etc.). Also, the shaft and gear would need to be cleaned first. That would mean the shaft would need to be removed anyway. Scoring (making divots with dikes) the shaft is the best way I have found. Also, using a pair of dikes to remove the collar works great (tapered sides under the collar).
