I just replaced the oil separator on my 87 245. It was an easy job with a socket wrench, a 10" extension, a socket universal joint and a 13mm socket. I got the new separator at my local Volvo dealer for about $35, and the gasket was $4. I removed the accordion air tube between the air mass meter and the throttle body in order to get my arms down into the space below the intake manifold. I'm kinda tall and skinny, so it was easy for me.

I too fretted about the tube dropping down into the oil pan, but I just carefully lifted the oil separator while making sure the tube was not unseated. Things went without incident, and now everything is back in place and working fine.
