Just wanted to say thanks for the video you did on the rear axle I did the same thing you did on your video and it worked like a charm thanks very much
Been a few years since ive worked on that. No theres no outer seal. The grease in the bearing amd the inner seal is supposed to keep the gear oil sealed in the diff. I used silicone sealant when i bolted the axle to the tube. I also drilled amd threaded a grease zerk so i could add grease between the inner seal and bearing race after installing the axle. Thanks for commenting. Hope it helps.
Hi 307 !!😀😀 What??? You're not a expert at everything you do?? LOL!! Unlike a mutual acquaintance we know!! LOL!! You did a fine job with the stuff you had to do it with. It's called improvising. Give us a look at the whole Jeep sometime. I would like to see it. Take care my friend!!😀😀
Ok will do. Took it out today and have a pinhole in the bottom of the radiator so thats the next project!! Shes not pretty but runs great and is a lotta fun!! Thank you sooo much for stopping in and watching my videos!! Im headed to the woods tomorrow and have a big surprise planned so if you have time check out the vids when i get them up!
The reason your original axle bearing failed is because it was installed backwards. the reason your new bearing will fail is because it is also installed backwards. most you tube videos are wrong in the installation. the thicker part of the outer race should be towards the outside against the retainer. AMC 20 is a semi floating axle with a button or thrust block between the axles inside the carrier assembly. Sorry it will work for a while but you will be doing it again very soon.
Did you put the bearing in backwards? I have the original 2 piece axle and they go on the other way, i do see you have the 1 piece axle though so maybe it different?
Not that i know of. I havent worked with a 2 piece axle though but the taper was to the inside amd thats how ive seen bearings on every axle ive worked on or seen.
No you are write bustedford. I'm a retired Ford tech and long time ago for AMC in Dayton Ohio. I'm doing a AMC 20 in a friends 401 Gremlin and soon in my 70 AMX so thought I'd refresh my memory a bit. on every video I checked out only one guy got it right. there all putting the bearings and race in backwards even the so called pro's. AMC 20 is a semi floating design and this defeats its function. it has a center button (thrust block) attaching both axles to each other and outside shims installed on one side only to get the end play. So instead of using the thick part of the race to keep the bearing in place there relying on the bearing cage or the inner race has a flange that extends to the out race. Also between each shim and flange there should be a thin film of silicone. we used to use thick grease to keep water out. Ill link you to a guy that is doing it correctly.
THAT JEEP ADVENTURE AMC 20 Tear Down & Rebuild | Drum Brake How To | Jeep CJ5 Project, Pt9 at 12:30 he installes the axle and bearing in the correct way. also it doesn't matter it there one piece axles or not the race is all ways on the out side of the bearing to retain the bearing from falling out.
@warbed1 It is installed "backwards" for the 1 piece axle. He did it correct. Preload is set with backing plate and spacer bearing in the housing with the 1 piece. For the 2 piece preload is set on the driver side with shims and the thrust block. When going from the 2 piece to the 1 piece axle you need to make sure you remove the thrust block from the middle of the differential. If you do not remove the thrust block it will cause excessive preload on the bearings and destroy them. Looks like that's what happen to the bearing he removed. Some 1 piece axles come with the axle shafts shorter so it doesn't make contact with the thrust block.
Thanks for making these videos! I have a leaker on my CJ7 and now I know I can do the job with the tools I have laying around.
Awesome!! Glad it helped!! Thank you for stopping by and watching!!
Excellent video !
I believe I can do mine now .
Thank you. Good luck!!
Thanks so much for posting this!!! I'm about to do 1 piece axles this was a great help!
Awesome!! Glad it was useful! This is the simple poor mans way if id ya dont have access to all the cool tools. STAY SAFE friend!!
@@307j.o.a.t9 Well looks like I got to get a micrometer....certainly don't have that! Thanks again!
Youre welcome. Good luck!!

Awesome!! Glad it helped! Thanks for the comment!!
Are you supposed to pack grease or anything in those bearings
Yea i pack the bearings with grease. Its at about the 2:30 mark. Thanks for watching and commenting.
does it get a outer seal ?
