Title: AMC 20 Seals
Post by: 80CJ on May 31, 2005, 10:56:14 PM

How many seals are there on the AMC 20 that keep the fluid away from the brakes. Both sides of my axle leak so therefore no rear brakes. Hard to fix?

Yeah I'm sure it's gear oil. No mistaken Royal Purple for brake fluid. I'm sure I messed up the seals when I did the locker.

Title: axel seals
Post by: keltech on June 13, 2005, 11:18:55 PM

It sounds you have the same issue I had. Their is two seal per side. The one that is leaking is most likly the inside one. It can be a real pain. The secound seal is between the bearing and the brake backing plate and will cost you a set of bearings to go with it. They are press fit onto the axel and will probably get destroyed tring to get the bearing off. Modern motors keeps a ready supply of the bearings and seals your after. When you go to install the inner seal carfull not to put it in to far and I use a socket with an extention that is close to the inside diameter of the axel to gently tap it in.  Hope this helps you out.
