Just remembered this.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/pr ... 5003190461

Purchased a set of 4 complete door cards from Jonathan, if I recall last year for my Project 2006 S60 2.5T. He told me that he receives a shipping discount when purchases are processed through FB. We negotiated a price and he changed it on the FB page and like eBay went through with the transaction directly on FB. Shipped from Aurora IL to NC for $28. He purchase 2 large boxes and I think shipped using UPS.

May want to consider looking into this and selling to MVS members or others through a FB Marketplace Acct to receive what I consider a "FB Subsidized" shipping cost.

Next one down too small. Will you accept it if I cut the shaft close to the diff? Someone is bound to have the right tool.

As I suspected, stumbled across pics from the last time I had the pleasure of removing a P80 shaft;

I remembered right, red thread locker.
Heat plasticizes the locking goo, way easier to get them loose with a good 6mm allen.
This is what I use, smaller and much easier to get into tight spaces, really localizes the flame point

I’ll take some of those trim pieces off your hands. Will reach out on Pm. Crazy week at work and emptying apartments this week too, so hold until weekend please.

I got sort of a torch. A direct blue flame candle lighter. Now I need to figure out the allan wrench. Perhaps cleaning out the head.

Soak the bolt heads with PB Blaster/Liquid Wrench or whatever, and then it is a laborious case of laying on your back and using a straight sharp pick, cleaning the allan heads out until the allan wrench fits nice and snug. You may have to tap it in with a hammer. I used a 3/8" drive allan socket and a wobble drive with a long brake bar on it. If you can reach the ends of the bolts make sure they are clean and lubed as well.

I forgot to soak most of them with lube. Got a light to shine on bolts while I unscrewed first one. There was no crud in the heads but #6 still did not fit. 5.5 was obviously too loose and 7 was obviously too big; 1/4" was also too big. However, I discovered that a T40 was perfect fit. Got all bolts out. Got the driveline bearing support and support plate unbolted. No matter how I wiggle the shaft in/out or even lowering the driveline support, the shaft will not come out from either end of the car.
