Had a bearing go in my AMC20 axle over the weekend. I was already planning to install 1 piece axles by Moser or Superior and a lockright over the summer. When I pulled the axle out, the bearing and race came out(actually they FELL OUT) in pieces. The end of the tube is grooved and rough where the race would be(I guess). This is my first time opening up a AMC20 . I'm used to GM axles. Since everything fell out, I'm not quite sure what it's supposed to look likeThe pics are not great but I'm looking for a second/third opinion. The axle is probably toast, but my concern is the housing where the race/bearing will ride. I don't want to throw money away. Do you guys think I can save the tube ? Thanks in advance.
