Flushing Transmission V70-XC70 1999

A pair of circlip pliers will work just fine. The 850 will move fluid a lot faster than your 240. I have two one gallon coolant jugs and two 5 qt. oil buckets. I will fill both the buckets with 4 qts. each, dump about 1/2-2/3 of a gallon in first and then fire the engine up, pour in the balance and when the 1 gallon coolant jug is full shut it off and do it again. I will typically put 4 gallons through an AW30-40. Another thing that works great is to get a piece of clear vinyl hose to run your fluid through, mine is long enough that I can drape it in front of the head lights while I flush and I can really see what I am looking at that way, it is not neccesary but it is a nice touch. When you are all done put a zip tie around the little metal retainer for the cooler line as every now and then one of those suckers cracks and breaks off.
