The heated install is supported in the spec sheet.
I see no reason why they shouldn’t perform to spec. If you want to evaluate glue, you’re probably better off measuring the ID and OD. the layer is extremely thin and likely completely transparent.
It’s really about preference and longevity of those mechanical characteristics
It looks like I put not nearly enough on. A good sign is when I put in the pin, there is excess that falls through the hole in the back, which is an air hole by the way but doubles as an escape for excess adhesive.
Seriously…if the assembly is done right (which it was not this time 
) this will not happen! This adhesive is made for the most demanding of applications where repeated stress and vibration is present. It is not just superglue.
I would still argue that it isn’t safe imo because a layman wouldn’t be able to inspect it for signs of wear. If your axle is failing, you’ll see signs of plastic deformation, indicators telling you that it’s not safe and should probably get your board checked out. Glue often fails in a brittle and explosive manner, which isn’t desirable where safety is concerned.
But hey, to each his own. I’m just giving my opinions here. Sure hope Kevin will take care of ya’ll (:
It wouldn’t be my preference.
Might work for 100000 miles. I recognize that in the diy world, we’re often overestimating the needs in the interest of safety. Especially because we’re mostly not engineers with the equipment for enterprise level testing. Then again, real world breaks stuff that survives r&d which is why DIY exists. Only time can tell
My 2 cents:
The compound is designed to work with all types of fits, whether it be shrink fit, press-fit, or clearance fit.
lmao. Name one esk8 vendor who’s had problems in which this should be done that’s actually done it.
Haggy
I don’t think a slow leak leading to a flat tire is a possible fatal injury type deal. I do love Haggy tho.
Yeah not fatal 
@Mikenopolis , please inform me if @moon is intending to be sarcastic, I’m too sofa king retarded to tell
I wasn’t. I’m agreeing with you
Ok, I am no expert at this. I was just thinking of a wagly related case where lotus bonded alu chassis together, they had pips ensuring 0.2mm gaps for uniformly glue on the bonded surfaces. Also the surface roughness could have something to do with it, if the kingpin is super smooth and out if spec for the adhesive.

You’re right 
I already ordered a bigass blowtorch.
I can get the kingpins made to a slightly larger size, then shrink fit them in. Now that would be solid…almost too solid. Good luck ever getting that out unless you got one of these suckers. 
This has been discussed before.
A friction/chemical bond is just not 100% failproof
Shrink fits and adhesives fail. The math can say that it will work, but as soon as you put it in the real world with exposure to outside factors everything changes. With some clever design, the extra machining may not cost any extra. But if it does, it’s worth the extra $6.
how much extra would it be to machine the extra “slot” for a regular hex bolt?
Might be worth to make this change in the next batch?
I know how to change the machining so it adds little to no cost. I never thought this would be an issue.
The bolt itself is whats harder because it must be made custom. A regular hex bolt with standard dimensions will have too short of a shoulder to be strong.
Also, shrink fits are known to have great reliability if done right. CNC machines utilise shrink fits to put tools in the collets. Theyre exposed to great forces.
You can use math so long as you design with a big safety factor in mind to account for the unexpected real world expectations
Should I tug on mine or just have faith?
Did you do the calculations using the design manual? There is a lot of factors to consider, it’s not just getting the shear resistance and multiplying by the area
I have this spreadsheet made for the torque load, but pretty easy to modify for axial load
