If you can't fix something with jbweld, it doesn't need fixing. Standard joke with my fellow Nitro R/C racers when someone blows up an engine and throws the rod out the side of the case..."Just JBWeld it, it'll be fine"

If that's the case then I guess it's possible that there was something on the connector or inside the case that prevented the JB Weld from sticking to it. The bonding material itself was solid and in one piece... it just turned loose.
Probably a fluke...
I have no intent to disparage your "jbwelding" skills but it is possible there was a thin film of juice on the connector before you applied the miracle epoxy. I have never had the stuff not make a strong connection but I am always working on new parts, hence the liquid theory. Try cleaning it up and doing it again!
And don't use alcohol as the cleaning agent or make sure its all completely evaporated before you apply the JP Weld. Alcohol acts as a thinner/solvent for the type of epoxy it contains.
No disparagement taken. If you read back a bit you'll see I was referring to someone else's work.
