Awesome, just got the blighters yesterday.....

I've a question on installation. Reading their instructions i'm unsure what they mean by loctiting the bearing in, maybe i'm being simple but aren't you supposed to grease a bearing??

1. Remove arms from car. Remove rubber bushings and cross shaft.
2. Press the cad plated tubes into the trailing arms, so that an equal amount protrudes on both ends.
(For the nervous this tube can be additionally held in place by drilling a small hole in the
trailing arm out near the end, and tack welding it.)
3. Grease the needle bearings with a high quality wheel bearing grease.
4. Using a generous amount of loctite, press a bearing into ONE end of the tube.
5. Slide the new axle shaft through the tube and bearing, so it comes out the other end.
6. Slide the second bearing over the axle shaft and into the tube, again using loctite to secure the bearing.
The shaft should now rotate freely in the bearings.
7. Install the trailing arm in the car, using the supplied hardened washers as a race for the thrust portion of
the bearing. The number of washers will vary from car to car, try to minimize the side to side play as much
as possible.
8. Use the supplied bolts with the factory washers to secure the shaft in the car.
9. Recheck the bolt torque, and side to side play after run in.
