2 things about this strike me:

1. he said axle hub, not entire axle.  i'd expect amc15 hubs to all be
   the same, and i wouldn't be surprised if they also covered amc20s.
2. hubs and axles become a matched pair after 1st assembly - the hard
   axle has knurls that cut matching splines into the softer hub.
   this is why it's critical to mark the hubs if you ever have to take
   them off, so they can be reassembled precisely as originally.  i do
   not know if hubs can properly or safely be reused on other axles
   afterward but i'm doubtful having always heard the above.

i hope he at least torqued the hub to the proper 200 ft-lbs.
