Hello everyone,
I am new here. I just picked up a really nice 1990 Volvo 240 DL yesterday for the grand total of $375. It runs really well and has zero rust. However it does still need some maintenance before I feel comfortable driving it around much.
I am going to do all of the regular tune up stuff and buy a kit from IPD. Beyond that, the PO told me that the U joint needs to be changed. I am not what you would call an extremely experienced mechanic, but I have done a handful of repairs and can follow instructions. I have all your basic tools and ramps and jack stands.
I saw a couple videos on youtube but they weren't specific to this make/model. I also searched the forum and found a few things, but I was hoping for a specific write up. Does anyone have one? Is this something I could do in my driveway?
I have a very rudimentary understanding of the process... Basically detach the driveshaft, somehow remove the u joint, replace the u joint with a bearing press or beefy C clamp, and reinstall everything magically without frustration right? Maybe grease or Zerks or something? Help this poor fool out!
