Replacing Axle seals in Transmission

Hi Everone,
I own a 2001 S40. I have to replace the CV Axles and noticed that the seals are leaking a little. How easy are they to replace? Does it require special tools?
Thanks in Advance,
Rick

Greetings from Mount Juliet,
When the axles are out you need to carefully remove the seals without scratching the bore they are in. They pry out easily. Take care to lube them where it will meet the cv shaft before re-installing the cv shaft.

use driveaxle seal from volvo only. pulling out is simple, putting it in needs extra care. better if it is seated and pressed in fully at the first attempt. keep dust away at all cost.

Thanks much. I was reading vida and volvo had a list of tools to use. I wanted to be sure before tearing it apart. Hows it going, "Mount Juliet"?
