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.

Really, the only source for a hub now is used hub. I bent a hub on my Pacer and replaced it with a Concord hub (both sixes). I haven't driven the car much but it's OK so far.
