AMC 20 1 piece axle fell out

The plates that came with my Geuine Gear had grease fittings but the seal was no longer available, had 3 seal companies look for it, close but no cigar Randy was right about that one.
the Yukon plates are not that thick so not enough meat to install fitting in that, you could drill the axles tube but if you keep the axles seal from leaking gear lub to bearings the grease you hand pack will stay for good bit of time, my press was running about 4 tons of pressure putting the bearing keeper on, the bearing was not but about 3 tons. I sure Lumpy Grits can expand on his pipe trick.
Do not forget to check the end play that is why I pulled mine with bearings installed backwards I had about 1/4 inch not .008
You can set that close by checking bearing sticks out a tad before you press it on, the shim kit worked without grinding on mine. Lots of one piece axles get a bad rap because improper installation.
If you put more butter in the grits they will not lump
