Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I bought a wheel hub puller and got the axle free. It was fairly easy, but I did have to put a lot of elbow grease into it. Using a can of PB, hitting the end with the biggest hammer I could find, and using an impact hammer would just not free it, though.

timing belt slipping

Thank you all for your words of wisdom. The timing belt was changed at the recommended interval at the dealership (not sure about the tensioner) and the car has about 105k now. I changed a timing belt on my VW before and found it too difficult to get the sprockets aligned right. I think this will be...

Timing belt slipping

My daughter was about to leave for college in her '98 s70 when I heard noise coming from the timing belt. It turns out the timing belt's outer edge was rubbing throught the timing belt cover. I removed the cover and found the belt was slipping laterally off of the sprockets. With the engine stopped ...

Instrument Cluster--night lights out.

I just followed the excellent instructions on how to fix the odometer on my '97 850 and everything works perfectly...except when I drove it last night, I discovered that the night lights on the instrument cluster do not work. The other lights on the dash are fine, the gauges, LCD, and warning lights...

850 dashboard loose

Several bolts holding my dashboard to the passenger side firewall have apparently come loose/out because a VERY loud creaking comes from that area whenever the car hits a bump. I can also pull the dash out a fraction of an inch and the sound goes away when I push my foot against the dash. Can anyone...
