Not sure about what you are asking about the lockite, but i used "hard" meaning the strenght of it on the outer race and bearing housing before pressing it in.

Any loctite but not super strong
Any loctite will work but not recommended to use extremely stong loctite as it will break the alloy case if you ever push them out.
the force of the interference fit will hold them in place.. the loctite is just a second safety option.
just recommend so its 1000% not going to move

Loctite makes specific products Some are for bolt treads, some are for retaining bearings and sleeves with different strengths. There's a 3 digit number on the bottle or tube like 271, and a color to keep it simple. Red is the strong stuff for bolts. I forget the # but green is one of the stronger sleeve retainers. If you know what it is, you can look up how hot it has to be to get it to let go. If... you ever have to take it apart again.
I cleaned the holes and grooves and injected regular JB weld. I'm afraid it was massive overkill, but you might have me beat with the loctite. If your bearings didn't have grooves I would have done the same thing though. I had oem bearings.

Jb welded bearings...
Your jb welded bearings are now one with the supercharger case..😂 they will never come out
There isnt force to push the bearings out when in use.The loctite really just is to be super super safe.

Scratch the air pressure, should be vacuum at that end.
