98 V70R Viscous Coupler Bushing Removal

Post by mt98t5 »

Does anybody know the procedure for removing and installing the Viscous Coupler bushing in the car. Mine is blown out and the rubber is rubbing the drive-shaft.

Hi MT: did you figure it out? I have to start on mine as soon as the part arrives.

It may be possible to do in place, but I don't know how. I believe the dealer has a tool to do it. May be worth asking them how much to do the install?
