The web between the bearings was cracked and both bores were too loose, not really bad but a good tap with a mallet and both would drop out without heating the case. The cap screw doesnt actually bottom out on the bearing races (very close though) so it will prevent them from rotating and or walking out of the bores. The Devcon seemed like a good idea at the time, it cant hurt anyway.
