I have been reading up on changing front wheel bearing hub on our 2000xc. I ordered the part today. I just went out and took off the tire to look at the parts a little closer. Everythin I have read has said that the bolt on the end of the axle is a 36mm bolt. Mine is 14mm. Am I missing something, or am I not seein the correct bolt. It seems like a pretty straight forward job.

Any thoughts?

    Well I just got done replacing the front passenger wheel hub. It was a pretty easy fix. Did need impacts and some heat though. All I needed to take apart was the outer tie rod. Didn't need to take the lower A-arm connection at all. I would say a couple hours is worth saving $250 labor!!

    Good day,
    Ken

    Hi Ken, I have no idea what it is you're looking at but I can almost guarantee that the nut on the end of the axle is bigger than 14mm on your car.

    You're looking for a large hex head nut that sticks through the center of the wheel hub, with a threaded rod protruding from it pointing out away from the car/engine. The protruding threaded rod is actually the end of the driveshaft running directly through the hub - it should be larger than 14mm diameter on it's own. This is in the very center of your wheel and if you have the right type of wheels you can even remove the center cap on the wheel and see the nut and the end of the driveshaft.

    I think the bolts holding the brake calipers on are 15mm, and the torx bolts that hold the hub in place from behind the steering 'knuckle' are E-14 torx.

    If I remember correctly the ball joint bolt has a 15mm nut on one end and a 17mm or 19mm bolt head.

      That is the bolt I was talking about. It was 14 or 15mm I took it out. It had a very large thick black washer behind it. I could see the spline of the drive shaft. It was the very center of the wheel.

        Interesting. I stand corrected, as you have already done the job so it must have been the right one. I measured the threaded end of my driveshaft and I think it was 22mm across (diameter) so either you've got a totally different driveshaft setup or the 2000 has a different fastening system.
        I may try to look this up in VADIS sometime and see what it says about this.

          I was suprised myself, but releived. Since I don't have a 36mm socket. I was also happy that the job went easier!

        About 2 years ago, I removed the axles on a 99 V70. I also read up about the procedure and was expecting to find a 36mm nut. I also found a bolt, just like you did. The rebuilt axles that I had purchased were supposed to fit my 99 and they had the external threads for the nut. Turns out that Volvo went to the bolt arrangement in...1999 but the parts books at the local parts store didn't show the change. Remove the bolt and drive on with the bearing change.
