Now the Mosers are a press on from the center end and then a locking collar is pressed in to hold the bearing to the axle. That is after the backing plate & seal/plate is placed on the axle first.
Some guys have questioned this setup and the axles pulling out of the bearing but that is for road racing with sticky tires but I dont think any one has had that happen.
Street I have never heard of axles pulling out and I would run them on my street car when the time comes. I do run Mosers on my drag car.

There are numerous places on the web that offer rebuild kits and shims for the AMC 20 axle.
answers question 1 Ratech has great shim sets. Probably the best as they are made to fit AMC 20 not like the other supliers whose kits are really for GM axles. http://www.ratechmfg.com/amc.htm Randy's ring and pinion http://www.ringpinion.com/ questions 2 Yes, the pinion will be in a different location for each gear set. The ring gear will be also. The different locations for ring and pinion and to achieve the correct mesh requires different shim thicknesses. It would be shear coincidence if the shims were the same. question 3 The cover uses 12 bolts to fasten to the case. The ring gear uses 8 bolts to fasten to the carrier. hope this helps, Armand |

Everything went together just fine, or so I thought. I went out for a spin and heard something so I came home and jacked up the car. I have an issue with the axle end play, the axles do not touch each other. I replaced the carrier with an ECTED Locker, was I supposed to take the thrust block out of the origanal carrier and install it in the new carrier? I reused the original two piece axles.
If this is the case, how do I do that? Did I ruin the bearings. I have a lot of slop in the end play. |

I cant tell from pictures but if there was not a block inside the carrier I would say it needs one to work correctly. From the looks in catalogs it may be made for jeeps with one piece axles and they may not put one in it.

Thank you. I pulled the spacer out of the old carrier. Not to get a hub puller again and tear it apart one more time, This is not going to beat me LOL |

Why do you need a puller unless yo uhave to adjust the shims.
You should be able to pull the axle to install the block.
That is how I installed a Lock Right Locker in my Gremlin.

Ok, may be a silly question but is a '66 AMC 20 rear basically identical to say a '70 AMC 20 rear? I have a '66 Marlin and am thinking of replacing the center section and would hate to drop @ $500 and find out they are different.
