Does anyone no of a way to undue loctite once it has set? In my case the bearings were set in an incorrect position. any ideas?

I'm sure others have better, more experienced answers. But I've successfully used heat.

I've got a heat gun for stripping paint. Its hard to control the airflow and you could easily melt nearby components.

For a more tempered approach, maybe use a hair drier.
