Replacing CV joint or boot 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be markoman on  Fri Apr 14 17:35 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I did it myself on the passenger side...not too hard, but you do have the remove the hub nut and pull the brake caliper, and remove lower BJ nuts and then pull the spindle hub off the drive shaft. Shafts can then be removed (need to remove also the brcket which supports the pass driveshaft. Haynes manual has a decent description on this as well as how to remove the circlip and replace the boot. If you are a decent DIY mechanic it will take you about a half day, maybe a little longer.

If you go with a replacement unit, make sure you get one of decent quality, not just a cheap one...I know the volvo ones are pretty expensive, that is why I did just the boot...
