Use Green loctite 638. You can find it at most autoparts stores or http://www.mcmaster.com/ carries it. Also a little goes a long way, I order mine from Azarr (http://www.azarr.com/gearbox.htm). Look at the bottom of the page and you will see the 3 pks for $1.00. Each pack is probably 1/4 oz and you can get about three uses out of each one.
Also...ensure you let it setup for 24 hours before you use it. Once you apply the loctite, set it down and walk away. Alot of people try and run up the motor right away or within a few hours breaking the bond. It will feel like it is setup during this time, but will not completely cure until 24 hours.
