Replacing CV joints S70

posted by  someone claiming to be John in SW Ontario on  Tue Nov 30 02:15 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Does anyone have experience replacing CV joints themselves ? Any links to service info on this ? I get clicking sounds coming from the off-side wheel when I turn, which I've been told is the CV joints.

    Haven't had to do it yet on my 855, but I've done several in my early FWD days with VW Rabbits. The big bugaboo was loosening the big nut on the axle end. Anyway, Volvospeed has a procedure for replacing the axle hub bearings. To get that far, you need to remove the nut and pull the outer end of the halfshaft through the hub. That's 7/8 of the work to get the halfshaft off entirely.

    Here's the link:

    Then click into 'FWD bearing hub'.
