Hey hey Guys!
Thanks a lot...last weekend decided to tackle the beast and put up a fierce battle this time and eventually got my break. First there are differnt torx sizes 25 for most and 15 beneath steering shroud. It is dark and one must probe the fit. After removing these, It was easier to access the rear of the steering wheel(also discovered the steering wheel is telescopic too!) Anyway the T-tool from Home depot (Chuck brand) miraculously opened when I used Torx 27!(I know) I was so happy--its taken me months to do this- I suggest the volvo interior engineers be rounded up and shot and used as an example of how/why not to design complicated (not sophisticated) interiors. I also used the counter-clockwise motion which was opposite to what I was doing before as its not intuitive when facing you.
Wwell, now I will take pics for the rest to see. I need to remove the cables, climate control unit and replace the evap...visions of cold air keep me through the job. OK..I've said a lot so let me end here....Thanks a million again guys. Those who claim stuff is too hard just want you to spend your $$$ on some mechanic.
Cheers!
