Lee, I plan to take out the passenger axle and leaking outer transfer case seal of that passenger axle so I may replace it. Here is the link for the part that I purchased: http://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/35653/Drive-Shaft-Seal-Passenger-Side-9143885/ Select a Sub Model V70 X/C AWD - Wagon - 2.4… Vol...

Yes, a few months ago I removed the driveshaft that gets its power through the angle bevel gear and then powers the rear axle. Previously, I had a slight grinding noise - after driveshaft removal the noise is gone. It was a "piece of cake"; the various posts make it to be a HUGE deal but i...

Lee, Again, thx so much for taking the time to explain and help me with my pbm. Ok, let me buy the seal first tomorrow from the Volvo dealership, then I will better understand the design of this seal. I assume the seal has some type of aluminum housing that is press fit to the opening of the transfe...

Lee, Thx. Some postings suggest there might be double or triple seals at the outer seal area: One to seal that bearing with the Right side axle shaft; one to seal that bearing against the transfer case and one ? [I don't know what might be needed for] or maybe there is seal that does it all. I searc...

Lee, Thx very much for your reply. Yes, you are correct. I removed the trans-axle so now I have only a front wheel drive :-)! So, does the outer seal of the transfer case come out easily? I thought it is a bearing type of seal that might need to be removed with a puller? Please explain if you can. I...

I have removed the rear axle of my V70-AWD - 2000. I just noticed yesterday some leak at the Right Front axle where it connects with the Angle Bevel Gear. I have never changed the fluid of the A/B gear. The leak has the appearance of rust and seems like water. It definitely originates from the seal ...

1998 V90 Installation: Well, I replaced my tailgate struts on 1998 V90 in just about 5 minutes. I fully agree with previous posts that some of us make this job to be rather challenging even though it is really straight forward. My tips are: 1. First, remove the spring clip with a small flat screwdri...

holler1,
Your photos are VERY much appreciated. Now, I think I much better understand HOW to take off this prop shaft, thanks to you

johngxc, Thanks for your input. Relative to your pbm, it is clear that since your noise went away once the prop shaft was out, then you can safely exclude the Bevel Gear. You may want to carefully examine the condition of the central shaft bearing and U-joint. Previous posts indicate that those area...

Here is my plan: 1. Raise the car off the ground, SECURELY. 2. Tie the car from a fixed point, ex. a nearby tree or something so it doesn't destroy anything should somehow get off the stands and start moving forward :-). 3 Have my helper put it in Drive and slowly raise the RPM to about 2,500, IF re...
