While doing the brakes on my daughter's 850 sedan I noticed some play in both sides of the inner axle connection. Clicking can be heard while coasting slowly in a parking lot, so I'm sure they are in need of replacement. Will I need special tools to do this job? I have a pretty good selection of tools as I do most of my own repair work. Just trying to have everything ready so I can do the job as quickly and easily as possible. Front wheel drive is a new animal to me.
Thanks.

This topic was covered fairly recently. try: http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/index.htm?id=1204457

ohh, and if you're inclined to do so while you're in there, it's a good opportunity to change the oil seals on the tranny where the power comes out.

Check the instructions on Volvospeed. Special tools are few if you call them special. A 36mm socket to break loose the axel nut at the hub and a good breaker bar or a good pneumatic wrench to break the nut loose. I have bought a number of axels at fcpgroton at what I consider a reasonable price. No core charge either.

Not a bad job and have fun,
