I used bearing retainer compound, the green stuff, about 4 yrs ago with no more issues. Also the torque value in the service manual is toooo high, putting way more load on the bearings. I torque my wheel to about 70ftlbs.

Yes. I have used 609A on a couple of wheel bearings with success. Do a runout check BEFORE you mount the wheel and make sure it runs true. I typically install the axle through the bearings to ensure the loose one is in the same plane as the other and let the retaining compound cure with the wheel laying on a flat surface, axle through, and the bearing being worked facing up.
