Bearing retainer creep
Neither bearing felt worn but both move on the shaft "in and out". It looks like the retainer has moved back,
Has anyone experienced this?
It almost looks as if I could nip it back up tight in a press, however I think it is probably damaged so I will replace. Is there a way to stop this creep?

Both the KAM rear shafts have suffered this on mine, (like it when i got it) due to lack of bearing changes. Hence my interest when you where talking about them reproducing some of there stuff.
It's been fettled just a tad.

Loctite seem to do 2 or 3 variants so I have dropped a query in to their support about product selection.

After our Nortumberland outing I noticed oil on the wheel so assumed it was the bearing failing.
Pulled that shaft (driver side) and found what your video shows. The bearing seems ok but has excess side movement. There was a small gap between the bearing and the abs collar. Memory serves from the garage pressing those bearings on saying that they were unable to get it down any further.
At the time i put a new oil seal in (thinking that was the problem) and left it at that.
Fast forward to last weekends mammoth outing around the lakes and oldham and I now have the same oil leak on the same wheel again. This time I will be heating the retainer up to get it on a bit further and see. I dont think mine is rotating, slipping or moving, just never been on far enough in the first place.

Loctite 648 is the one you want, it works with press/interference fitted assemblies.
It shouldn't be able to, as you'd expect it to wipe off, but if you look at the shaft, there are fine lines caused by fitting the bearing & retainer, so there actually isn't 100% surface contact, and there is a microspace for the loctite to fill up and bond.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
