Agree - the Loctite 648 is great stuff. I've used it with great success in some high stress applications - ex. reseated a loose valve stem (with 648) on my Kawasaki / Exmark mower engine. That was 4 or 5 years ago and it's still holding up.
If I had found that my 915 bearing race(s) were loose - I would have considered reseating them with it (if the case wasn't completely wallowed out).
Also agree with Matt - the retainer's made to reduce likelihood of a seat coming loose (vice repair), but I think if you repaired / reset a loose bearing seat with the 648, and then retained it with the Wevo or GT bearing retainer - you might not need to have the case machined. No experience - just my thoughts.
