A little history. A month ago, 3 miles from home, engine was hard starting and would hardly run. Up until this point, the idle had always been normal, ~ 750 and it has regularly started and run well. After 3 miles of the engine pitching conniption fits I finally made it home. Discovered the next day...

You might want to swap in a headliner from a car with a sunroof, so you'd have a nice neat opening on the inside.

Not surprising, I guess, that the updated spec is only + 30 degrees; 120 would be a powerful lot of torque, even for that large nut.

The AWD would probably have a splined rear hub since it's powered. I'm curious why the torque spec would be different for the same hub/bearing on 2 different models.

Great, thanks.
It looks like the same bearing/hub is used on all 850's and on up to 2000 V70. True?

I've got a noisy rear bearing I'm getting set to replace. Does anybody know the torque for the axle nut? One post I read on replacing the front hub said something about greasing the lip on the inboard side of the bearing. Is that the same on the rear hub?

A couple of concerns to keep in mind. Models with a factory sunroof have a stiff corrugated steel band that runs under and up against the roof panel and across the roof right behind the sunroof opening. This band ties in to the top body rail on both sides providing support for the quite flimsy roof ...

Yup, the lock tab is the problem. And unfortunately, the T25's are not accessible with the wheel at straight ahead. The car will be in the crusher in a week or 2, so making a mess of the cylinder housing to get the cylinder out shouldn't cause anyone to be distressed. Would a heavy hammer and a heft...

Two questions, actually. My 96 base 850 has the plastic steering wheel. I know of a 95 850 T that has what I guess is a leather covered, nicer feel, grip and appearance. There's no key for the car. Can the key cylinder be removed with appropriate tools, so I can get at the wheel nut? Also, would the...

The 99 and 00 xc's that I've seen at the junk yard all had ATE double piston, apparently the same caliper that's been used on the 850' since 93. If the mounting hardware is the same,you might be better off to source a pair of used ATE's and use as is or rebuild them. A shop in Minneapolis that can r...
