So not wanting to shell out $125.00 for a Volvo OEM to have in the trunk, I ordered a (ugh) ScanTech for the rear and I think the front is a GMB. Supplies for the '93 I guess are getting scarce.

You might want to try this place although I don't see the 850 listed under Volvo...

Hello all, new member here. Great site. Spent 20 minutes looking at lots of other helpful stuff before I even got to what I really logged on for! I have a 97 850 GLT wagon and a new replacement wheel bearing assembly sitting in a box on my kitchen counter. I'm trying to find the torque specs for the installation and I'm wondering whether I should even try the job. I was expecting the old tapered roller bearings/clean/repack dance which I'm certainly comfortable with but maybe this job is too much. I'm not afraid of a challenge, but I'm vertically challenged (no lift, only jackstands) and worried about whether I'll have enough room to swing a torque wrench. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
