Traction tire replacement Unsual Problem

Separate the screw and insert, use red Loctite to hold the insert in the driver, let dry, reinstall screw. Done.

Great. I was wondering about some sort of "glue"....I'll buy some red locktite

Also: Should I try and grip the sleeve and try and remove the screw first so that the screw will extract more easily the next time?

You can but be careful not to crush/distort the sleeve.

Probably best to pull it out screw and all if possible and Loctite the sleeve in place, then back the screw out of the sleeve. 

OK  I was thinking I could crush it if I wasn't careful. Now, I see there are different types of red locktite. What do you suggest?

This one should be more than enough to hold the sleeve in place: http://www.loctiteproducts.com...adlocker-Red-271.htm

OK Thanks, #271 it is. Appreciate it.

271 is a thread locker and may not perform as well as a retaining compound or an epoxy for the sleeve.

I've not had an issue using Loctite in this application. The screw doesn't take much torque so the thread locker works fine. If one has some epoxy around (i.e. JB Weld) I don't see why that wouldn't work as well. 

Whatever product you use, make sure to clean the area for repair. Rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab will do the trick. The area should be clean and free of any grease and oils. ...........Pat

NO!  Remove that screw first.  You can grip the sleeve with plier with teeth to firmly hold it without distorting.  Get screw out which also uses locktite.  The teeth marks will act as a knurl to help secure sleeve.  You can compare to the opposite wheel and seat the sleeve to the same depth with a adhesive of your choice.  Reattach linkage and screw after it sets.  Do clean as mentioned before reinstall.  G
