'79 CJ5, 258 I6, T150 w/Dana20, Dana30 front and AMC20 rear. My first Jeep! I'm looking forward to doing some minor upgrades and restoration while enjoying the ride.
I recently saw a youtube vid of a shop doing this to an axle. He said the only stuff he found that sticks well to both metals was 309 Stainless rod. I'll see if I can dig up the full video link.

Initially I went with Yukon one piece axles from Randy's Ring & Pinion but after several iterations of failed installations I ultimately went with a rebuild Dana 44 w/locker.

I guess I'm kind of wondering why you don't want to use the new one piece axles. When making changes to a Jeep, it is best to do one upgrade or fix one problem at a time. If your doing a complete rebuild like I am that's a little different. So go ahead and put the one piece axles in. Your not going to hurt them. You will also be able to change the seal at the same time. When you go to do a gear replacement, the axles will pull out of the way very easy, then change the gears. Doing this will tell you if you have any problems with the axle swap before doing the gears. Now you are only chasing down one problem area. If you have a problem and you've changed both items, what do you look at first. Get what I mean. The axles are bolted to the axle tube, there are no clips to worry about. On the front axle in a CJ like ours, Dana 30 , the seals are closer to the diff than they are to the outside of the axle. The carrier must then be removed, and the seals punched out into the differential area. Se my build thread for pictures. I use a piece of pvc pipe to punch them out. I'm not sure where they are on the 20. Someone else may chime in on this. I haven't' taken mine apart yet, on the to do list.
. It makes a difference
