The How-To 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Shtoink on  Sat Apr 15 14:59 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I just replaced the left hand CV shaft on my '96 850 today.
A) Changing this on the garage floor sucked and
B) I gave up on just changing the boots because I didn't have air tools (or a vice) to knock the joint off the shaft itself.

A rebuilt (actual Volvo) shaft was a ten minute drive away at NAPA, and in the end only $40 more than the inner and outer boot kits. After squatting on the floor for 4 hours trying to grow a third hand to get the joint off, I figured my sanity was well worth the extra $40.

On the plus side, the car is back in working order.

How did yours go?
