Q: Volvo special tools- which ones are needed 700

Diyer... what the hell did you expect? Please don't insult the bunch of us based on one person... ACtually, I think your list is great and it obviously shows that you put some work into it.

Personally, I haven't completely rebuilt my car, so I can't answer all of your questions...

But of the jobs I've done, the crank balancer holder tool is essential for keeping the harmonic balancer from moving as you are trying to remove the bolt that holds it on... vital for maintaining the engine timing.

I recently removed the rear end from my car... Volvo specifies a certain tool/bracket to hold the rear end in place.... never saw the need for it.

One tool that looks really interesting is the one that holds your engine in place as you are doing a clutch job... looks like it might help, but I can imagine that it costs a couple hundred bucks, so I'd find a different way.
