There shouldn't be any outward thrust on that shaft. However, if you can get the Loctite in there it should hold. If not, then I'd still try to get in there and drill a couple holes and make a plate. Sort of a belt and suspenders approach.

So far so good its holding and am surprised as am only able to put few drops by wiping method on the edges because there is no room. I used both Loctite and the used this here. So far it didn't come off. I am just scared of what would happen if it does come out?

That bearing is mainly for support. There shouldn't be a lot of lateral force on it so it should stay put.
