I would try to hold them in mechanically, with either a press fit or deforming something to hold them in place. I don't have much faith in adhesives holding while submerged in oil, heated, and constantly vibrated.
They are tapered roller bearing cups.

I don't really want to stake / peen them in place because the casing is a bit limp wristed...

...and as for vibration - that won't be a problem 'cos I'm a very good driver!!!!
