Re: CTA Ball Joint Removal Tool for Volvo's

I performed the ball joint service without that special tool. I bought an impact hammer (air) to get the ball joint separated from the knuckle (works well!). Then I just a piece of aluminium pipe to gently knock the new ball joint in place.

Do not use the bolts to "pull" the ball joint in place ...

Re: S-80 1999 How to remove and replace a fuel pump?

My 2001 S80 2.4T did not have this seat frame, this video should help you. I bought the special tool to get the ring of, makes it way easier. Its fairly straightforward.

Replaced a leaking power steering hose (nothing strange after 20 years of use) and did a flush of the fluid. I had a mini panic attack as it had the old minderal ATF fluid in it. Followed the video below and was instantly calmed down :D

Replaced the high beams with new LEDs. The old ones were from NightEye (right) and the new ones from Bullvision (left). They are a lot brighter and look like better quality.
