I am messing with an Echo cs-650evl. One of the bearings has spun. It is no longer a super tight fit in the case. My cs-510 evl needs a heat gun to expand the case and allow the bearing to fit in the recesses. This one is much looser. Not sloppy but there is a slight clearance, no galling.

I was thinking....buy new bearings. Second take an electric pencil and put a gillion little peene marks inside the bearing recesses. After that use some of that super duper high temp gasket goop to secure the bearing?

I would really like to use it. Any sugestions?
