Misc. One piece upgrade
I have the stock ratios as well. The instruction sheet from Moser said zip about potential thrust block issues. Luckily after ruining the first bearing I did a bunch of research and ran across some references to a thrust block on another Jeep forum. The Moser tech acknowledged that their instruction sheet that comes with the new axle kit could be improved and they actually cut me a deal on replacement press rings (they sent me two for the price of one).That's interesting, my 20 had the block, it was a stock open 3.54:1. When I put the G2 axles in the instructions had a warning about the block. Is yours a wide track?
It's not that bad of a job. The job itself is actually pretty straightforward and if everything goes the way it should, can be done in an afternoon. What took so long for me was the lack of any mention of possibly having to remove the thrust block from the diff in the sheet from Moser and that the old brake lines fell apart during disassembly. So I had to order three things I had not initially identified, 1. a new bearing, 2. new press rings for the one-piece, and 3. new brake lines.Thanks Scout1067 for sharing this, and for making me realize I should never attempt to do a single axle conversion on my AMC20. My amateur skills will lead me down a rabbit hole of pain and suffering. I'll leave it to the experts.
