Tomorrow morning I need to pull the front passenger axle on my step-son’s 2004 S60, to re-boot the inner joint. I’ve searched endlessly and other than 1/2 hour you tube videos in Croatian, not found a clean how-to. I’ve done this job MANY times on other vehicles, just wondering if anything is odd he...

I read somewhere that GMB uses Timken roller bearings, though that's not indicated on the printed box. If so and the race is carefully machined the hub should last a good long while. The seals look robust. There was another closeout for US 22.00, so I also got that one for a spare. It shipped in a ...

SKF only for the bearings if you don't want to have to do them again in 2 years. Though for 32 bucks, probably worth a shot if you're on a budget. GMB is one of the premier OE suppliers of CVs, bearing assemblies, etc. It’s oe quality or better (depending upon who OE is). I need to replace a Lexus ...

Thanks for that pointer. Rock Auto, yeah, I've bought parts there awhile ago and been satisfied. So happened they had a GMB hub on closeout for $32.00 so after checking a few reviews and recalling that I've purchased that brand before that's the one I bought. GMB is one of the premier OE suppliers ...

What an absolute nightmare! All this for an idiot light that is more annoying than helpful. Unless there is a way to totally disable this circuit (fuse? which one? wire snip? which one?, etc?) it looks like a bit of black tape at the left end of the cluster will be the way to go, and then check eac...

Maybe this helps a bit: A) if the inner is not shredded, and you don’t want to deal immediately, you can run a while with saran wrap and zip ties to keep it from flinging grease. Sounds ghetto, but honestly it works. B) If the inner is NOT trilobal on the can (the can is smooth all the way around, n...

Same as above. I/we have one Belgian built 2004 S60 and it is fundamentally no different than the three Gothenburg wagons I have had/have.

I can’t recall where I got this, or what it was for. I swapped the one in my V70XC for wood effect, I recall. But I don’t think this was the original style for that car, with this silver insert (plus I recall it was worn somewhat). Thanks.

… And can you maybe shed light on why a big drain and fill transforms shifts but only for a few miles. It isn't just adaptations I think. Last year after a huge drain and fill, for a brief moment I had the fastest, smoothest shifts that last just a few miles, after which they go back to how they we...

interesting observations about the viscosity differences between fluids. i used maxlife in my 850 transmission once and noticed some hesitation afterwards - maybe the lower viscosity was the culprit? switched back to oem fluid and it seemed happier. I’ve put MaxLife in an Aisin U151E transmission (...
