This brings up a production machining question I've had as far as accurate dimensions. If there is a solid shaft (not a bolt) that passes through a round hole machined in another piece, they both can't be "exactly" 19mm. Is one or the other just a micron smaller or larger diameter so they...

More rolling bearing trivia: Rolling bearings have a life rating expressed as L subscript 10. This is the expected life in millions of revolutions with the input to the equation the RPM. The rating is for 90% reliability as there is always variation in the life. There are other more detailed bearing...

This one has me scratching my head..... https://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/d/tucson-2007-s80-volvo-export-only/7686482346.html Parts only? How the heck do they figure that? Some states are weird. I think it's harder to get a true "certificate of destruction" title than a regular old salvag...

If you struggle to remove one part, move on to another. Likely it will get easier when you come back. Bag, box and TAG. Mark as you go. Group things from an area or system. A box of mixed screws is a future nightmare. Zip lok bags are good, not the cheap sandwich bags that may tear. Use all those Am...

For sure take the transmission with it. Take angle gear as well, it may have less splines damage than yours. Perhaps steering rack, too, but pay attention if any wheel was forcibly moved - these racks don't like that. Remove the front end. Cut off downpipe. Remove all cables from the engine. Support...
