Loctite Quick Metal 660. It is an anaerobic compound like the rest of the Loctite family and set in the absence of air. Sets in 10 min, full cure in 22-24 hours. GOOD STUFF. If you do not use a release agent, a little heat will let it be removed later.
Tomorrow I am going to use it on my JD 616 rotary mower. The blade holder hub had got loose before I got it and beat up the splines. JD only wants $578 + tax for the part. I paid $550 for the mower. The gearbox is ok. I had a 3" washer made, 1/2" thick out of 4140 tool steel. I am also going to drill and tap the hub to accept 3, 3/8"-24 bolts (in case the bolt comes loose again I'll keep the washer!). I plan to fill the splines with Loctite 660 then torque the bolt down with my little Ingersoll-Rand 2141 3/4" impact. Hopefully it will stay together this time.
Good luck with the steering coupler. Loctite 660 is not cheap, far from it. 6ml is about $12 and 50ml is about $40. It will fill up to about 0.020" diametral clearance. Typical applications include restoring correct fits on worn shafts, spun bearings, and damaged keyways.
