I have no doubt the clamp is a better solution, which is why I have one on my 9XL, but for those who don't want to sink $20 into it, epoxy does work well. It never came apart in an accident, and I had some very bad crashes, espically when I had it in the back of my custom truck, which had the motor past the rear axle.

I figured it puts quite a bit of stress on the bearing when taking the motor apart, but it spins fine, the trick is several lighter taps than one big one. Replacement bearings are dirt cheap anyway. I know a clamp is better, but its not the only solution, and its caused me no problems so far, which is why i mentioned it.
