Loose rear wheel bearing races in my 05 Rubicon

[woodschip]

I am replacing the rear wheel bearings, seals,etc. on my 05 Rubicon . After pulling the axles, I could reach in and work the bearing races out by hand . Should I be concerned about this loose of a fit? Should I Loctite the new races in ?THANKS

Completely normal on the Rubicon Dana 44’s. Even says so in the factory service manual
