Visited my mechanic yesterday re: TB, pulleys, waterpump etc for my 2006 XC70. He said "I'll get you a parts/ labor estimate, but why not do it yourself? You have skills". (which I do!!!). Reading the tutorials, I came across a few snags: I do not have pneumatic tools, thus I cannot remove the crank pulley (Do I have to?). I don't have a means to secure the two cam pulleys so they don't move...suggestions? Any special tools or warnings that you all can provide? Is the waterpump an 'in and out' deal? Assistance please, or the mechanic gets the job, and I have to dig deep in the wallet to pay him!
