I
haven't done this on an AMC but did this on a Mustang. If the AMC is
similar its not that hard. Remove the rear drum, flip it around and
loosely attach it back on the axle, then pull on the drum to pull the axle
out. On the Mustang the bearings are pressed on so you'll have to go to a
machine shop to get the new ones pressed on but I think the cost for the
bearings and pressing them on should be in the range of $50-75. You may
want to replace the seals also but that is also pretty easy. Slide the
axles back in.
This
is working from memory from about 6-7 years ago on a Mustang. You may need
to pull the backing plate for the brakes off but even if you need to do that I
believe you can leave the brake shoes, springs, etc in place. However, if
you have it all apart and haven't serviced the brakes for awhile it might be a
good time to do that also. Good luck.
