Hi guys,
Will be changes all the from seal on 1993 940 wagon shortly. Will be using Volvo seals rather than aftermarket and had a few questions.
1. Is there a source for the tools to press these in similar to factory tools or is there something that has been used successfully? I recall factory tools that used the pully bolt to drive them in. I need to do my 240 as well shortly.
2. What installation lube is everyone using as well. I've always had issues pn other vehicles with the springs popping out.
Thank you.

A properly sized PVC pipe fitting has always worked fine for me. As you’re tapping it in, stop frequently and look to make sure it’s going in straight. A properly fitting seal needs no sealant. To help it slide with less friction I often smear some Special Parts Installation Technology (SPIT) around the outside diameter. Stop driving the seal in when it becomes flush with the engine casing.

Good decision to use Volvo labeled seals.
