Re: AMC 20 Axle Oil Seal Replacement Question
Be sure and hand pack the wheel bearing with grease as the seal
should tell you they do not share the differential gear lube.

Re: AMC 20 Axle Oil Seal Replacement Question
Thanks for the advice. I wish I could go to a one piece axle right
now, but I just spent $1,500 on a new boat motor and I don't think I
could get away with putting $300 more into my jeep. Next time I take
it apart I will go with a one piece but for now I am trying to stop
the leak to prevent damage to rear differential.
What can I do to prevent spin out now that I have disassembled the
hub? Can I put lock tight on it? Can I tack it (with a weld)? Again, a
permanent solution is ok, because next time I take apart I go one
piece. Any other advice? So far I have no gasket sealant and hand pack
the bearings with grease. Thanks Again!

You might try a big impact on, it'll beat it on a lot tighter than
the 250 pounds, required torque:

drill a new carter key way.
