AMC 20 Axle Oil Seal Replacement Question
Hello,
I am replacing the rear oil seals on my '85 Jeep CJ7. This job sucks
due to the 2 piece axle and rusted on hub, so I don't want to have to
do it again. When I put the axle back together, should I use gasket
sealant between shims, axle housing flange, outer oil seal, brake
backing plate, outer dust shield etc.??? Between any or all of the
above? Thanks in advance for your advice!

Re: AMC 20 Axle Oil Seal Replacement Question
No.
Let me offer you a suggestion, take this opportunity to switch to the
one-piece axles marketed by, among others, Superior Gear and Moser. These
two, and probably the others, are using tapered roller bearings, whereas the
earlier offerings used ball bearings. I have the ball bearing variety, and
the ball bearigns are unique to this particular application. The problem
with this is that I can't simply walk into the local bearing store and buy
new bearings. I changed to the roller bearing type axles a couple of years
ago, and have not needed to service or replace the bearings since. I suppose
I should go in and take a look to see how they are doing, but they have gone
further to date than the old ball bearings ever went.
The one piece axles take a little bit of effort to install, but they are
easier to service later on, and they are much stronger than the two-piece
design that you have today.

Ditto, the two piece axles will last forever or until someone takes
them apart to replace the seals. The only way to make sure they hold
like new is to buy new hubs and swedge them on, at that rate you might
as well buy the one piece axles and forget it:
