I bought the tool, cheap enough and I always find Volvo's for cheap to work on. Won't be long before a BLUE SMOKING 850 failed smog is on Craigslist for $500.

I get most of my parts from Pelicanparts.com since they are near be in the Bay Area. Or IPDUSA in Oregon or Autohausaz in AZ.

All the seals looked all worn, hard and tough to get off. A paint can opener also helped!

The compressor is the key! If I was going to do it again, I would tie a harness from the roof trusses and suspend my self.

The big helped is to put a cheeter bar on the valve compression tool handle to easy the leverage. I also had the front on ramps....I am 6'4"

Regards to all
