Just to follow up on this thread, Simon and Stuart were spot on with the tapered bearing being 'fixed' in place by some sort of Loctite. I don't know why this was used in the past, but removal of inner bearings on both sides of the axle was destructive and replacements taper bearings have since been tricky to source.
Other than for a poorly (incorrectly) machined taper fit, if anyone can shed any light on why one might choose to glue a bearing in place - please advise.
