Abscate I've ran into a hexa problem also known as the Allan screws that join shaft to rear differential. I tried a 6mm too big. 5.5mm to small. 1/4" too big. Next one down too small. Will you accept it if I cut the shaft close to the diff? Someone is bound to have the right tool. As I suspect...

Today I worked on the rear shocks. I removed the first shock mount bolt on driver side. Sheared it off. Remembered on stuck bolts, Robert loosens then tightens then loosens again to prevent shearing. I did that on the 2nd one and worked fine. Both on passenger sides did not get stuck. Went to hardw...

All the gen 1 S80 wheels look great in my opinion. There wasn’t a bad one among them.

I’ll take some of those trim pieces off your hands. Will reach out on Pm. Crazy week at work and emptying apartments this week too, so hold until weekend please.

My first experience was on my 98xc parts car and second on 98xc daily driver; nightmares. I did not get either off. Can someone PLEASE either soothe my anxiety ...

Rear window is 14 or 16 oem I think. I've got bosch 16CA. Got 22CA passenger side, 24CA driver side. Re...

Hello, Then i had to wonder. Could they have been fakes? Imitations made by a cheap company who try to sell their produces as brand name especially using big brand names. We see this all the time in the electronics industry where parts are made with values that are nothing like they really are, bei...

My repaste with rtv of the sunroof a few days ago was worthless. Last eve and this morning, I worked on the sunroof seal on the donor car. I used N_D's step-by-step here https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=70515&hilit=sunroof+repair. I accidentally installed seal back to fr...

You have to pry is out of the end caps. I use a flat blade screwdriver and mallet to tap between the shaft end and the cup on the V/C end and the angle gear ends.

Good Luck!
