The Axle's

The axle's were ok but there were some worn parts that needed to be replaced.


The rear axle is an AMC 20. It was Really easy to work on. Here it is sand blasted and ready for paint.

Repaired, painted and ready for install. This AMC 20 rearend was an easy rebuild.

The front Axle rebuild was a different story. I didn't realize how completed they are.  I replaced all the bearings, seals, disc breaks, ball joints and everything else. This took a lot longer than I thought it would.

These 35 year old bolts didn't want to move. Apply a little heat and they came right off. This is going to take a while.

Here is a before and after pictures of the front axle.  This took me most of a week to do it right.

Rear Axle. Their was a lot of dirt and rust to remove to make it look new again. I started out trying to keep track of the hours i was putting in but I lost track.  At this point I really don't want to know.  The truth is I really enjoy working on it. That make the time fly by.
