Many thanks for posting this. I actually had to move my 98 v70 to light duty after the bevel gear gave up recently on my wife's wagon at about 190k miles. I actually ended up buying my first non volvo in many years...
In my case it was making an awful grinding noise when turning. For now, I have disconnected the driveshaft, but want to get into the gear and check it out.
I do have a spare gear from a 1999, it has a different flange on the output. Some guys in VS suggested changing the flange and I think I will do that, and that's where the sleeve would come into play...
I will open up the spare one and re-seal, install the vent and all that.
