Someone mentioned in another thread that a rear main seal replacement was right behind the blower motor replacement on the Volvo 240 DIY degree of difficulty scale. Just my opinion, but here's a tentative "degree of difficulty" rating of several of the jobs we seem to be involving ourselves with on a regular basis:

1- Engine oil change/automatic transmission flush

2- Manual transmission fluid change/coolant flush

3- radiator/water pump/brake pads

4- rear shocks/springs/brake rotors

5- ball joints/tie rod ends

6- timing belt/front seals

7- wiring harness/motor mounts/front struts

8- clutch/rear main seal

9- trailing arm bushings

10- blower motor

Comments, other input welcomed.
