I've been trying to pin down this gremlin for a while now and it's starting to worry me going into the winter season. I've owned my 08 S60 2.5T for 18 months now and for the first 6 it was perfect, then intermittently it would have a small issue when it was starting. It wouldn't happen predictably a...

One more way is to unbolt the front CV and the support bearing and use the driveshaft itself as a reverse hamm...

I removed the center bearing, while pushing with the M8 bolt at the back of the Flange, pull down the propeller shaft at the cross brace. I used only one M8 x 30mm bolt to push the Cv joint out that way. 1/2 wrench with an extender and a 24mm socket worked, but i had a counter-hold tool, and then an...
