Hello!

So, no crap, how difficult is it really to change rear main oil seal??

Only just serviced my 855 2.5 litre ten valve, including auto transmission fluid, and I'm 99.9% sure rear main has sprung a leak.

Add to that this year the evaporator failed - but everyone reckoned that the evaporator is a really difficult job, but no offence, i did it in 7 hours including accumulator (excluding re-gass) and first time i've done it.

But the prospect of removing the gearbox...............now theres a thought!!

Took auto box out of my 740 turbo - not difficult but VERY heavy.

So what about the 850? Easy? or really difficult...............

Parts seem straight forward.........the seal itself and new bolts/nuts for the subframe.

Any comments please!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many thanks,

Kevin

ps - maybe i'll buy a decent car one day!!!!!!!!!!! But hooked on these Volvos..........even bought a 144.........
