Re: Epoxy, glue, loctite gear to shaft. Any chance of working?

I assume you mean the gear broke because the press fit was too tight. You could put the shaft in a drill and use emery paper to gradually reduce shaft diameter until the press fit is not so tight. We had to reduce the kit gearbox output shaft diameter by about .005 inches using this method. You can start with a file if you have to reduce it a lot. We happened to use some abrasive roll material.
