Gary Lewis Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 By staking I meant the bracket... deform the bracket near the bushing. Or use the same loctite I used originally on the lower hinge (I misplaced my tube of thin permetex blue, I used green loctite 609 since that's the bottle I could find in my stash). If I'm pulling the hinge it's getting replaced and if the new one looks the same, I'll loctite it on the bench first before I have to contend with spray grease. I suspect my inability to fully clean the joint is fouling the bond. Yes, you might be able to stake the bracket. Just small punch marks around the hole causing it to deform inwards. And Jim is right, with the oil in the pores of an Oilite bushing its not likely that Loctite will work. But it is hard to tell from the pics if that is what you have.
