J-tube replacement

I'm looking for some tips on how to replace the J-tube. I got the CEL P0442 and thanks to this forum, found that the J-tube had a crack. I tried for an hour to remove it but no good. Can someone provide some hints on how to remove it.

Also, if someone had it done by the dealer, how much did they charge.

Thanks

Google it. i seen this on u-tube, but its for S70. The concept should be the same.

yes I saw the s70 video but unfortunately it's not the same. the one on the s80 is way underneath.

I replaced mine including the other hose. For my S70, I removed the fuel filter bracket, and pushed the fuel filter (towaards the rear) to get access to the two hoses. The hardest and time consuming for me was, removing the factory clamps, the two hoses were simple to pull out and replaced. For your S80, not sure what clamps Volvo decided to use, but mine were the good ol fashion clamps (like the old sardine can with key). Jack the car up a little (enough that you have room to operate) with both tires still touching the ground. You can do this with determination. I just replaced both hoses so I don't have to repeat the process again any time soon. Also, I ordered a new fuel filler cap (Volvo) for good measure from IPD.
