Just use a little bit of RTV. Not much. You don't want it to be too difficult to separate the next time you go in there.

and then finally i have been searching everywhere and my searching ability isnt amazing obviously because i cant find a breakdown of the assembly of the motor portion pictured. there seems to be too much play back and forth (my version has no free spool) but after putting the pin back in the hole it seems there is still lots of play back and forth ...
what am I missing? or is it supposed to move back and forth

Silicone sealant (Room Temperature Vulcanizing). Clear, black, ultra grey, whatever.
Those pucks are a very early 8274 brake, I would upgrade to the disk material warn pn 8409 or gigglepin parts and get new seals while in there. This thread is better served in the winch section. Winching and Recovery - https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/winching-and-recovery.170/
What you have is an 8074 non Freespool 8274

Personally I would add a apacer to keep the pinion in the correct orientation with the gear. Or swap the upper housing to pn 9285 and add pn 8326 or gigglepin handle with a filler Gigglepin FreeSpool Handle - https://gigglepin4x4.net/gigglepin-freespool-handle-replacement-for-warn-8274-1945-p.asp
Making it an 8274.
Slippery slope rebuilding one of these. Gets expensive quick.

measure the OD of the motor pinion shaft and the width, should be an easy find. post up your #'s / measurements.
