TIZIO AKA 1 HND MEC Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Coulda swore something in the auto tranny assembly is a 12 point bolt. Oh well Drill that head bolt Andy, after you lift the head you can easily take it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb5 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I was using a 14mm 6-point socket with a 1/2" breaker bar and it just rounded off. So I hammered a 13mm 12pt socket on and it spun right out. That socket won't come off the bolt now hahah Head came off no problem after that Not a happy motor. It died a slow, oily death. It'll live on as furniture in my apartment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some manual flywheel bolts use this. Not a torx. The Volvo will be fine. It's just a bit annoying is all. Until next week...

Brad850 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Some manual flywheel bolts use this. yup I couldn't torque them down all the way with the torx so I said fuck and bought all knew bolts. I'm lucky I was able to remove them. I believe Adam had luck using a torx, but triple square is the only way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caanglin Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Until next week... That's the second time in 10 years I've had to have a Volvo towed. The 951 was towed twice this past year. Ground wire to MAF rubbed through. Axle went boom. Edited January 27, 2015 by fivex84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Replaced the passenger axle yesterday. I barely get a year out of them before I destroy them, but hopefully the new brand IPD carries will last longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well change your screen name to axle snapper, move to jersey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Only sheared one. The rest I tear up the joints where they tend to generate vibration above 60 mph. But, all of those have been crappy Empi axles, and Ipd quit selling them over a year ago. The snapped axle I replaced at the beginning of May, so got a whole 9 months out of it. The new one is much lighter, so I am guessing hollow shaft. About 5 weeks to the start of race season, but I do have a practice in 2 weeks. I will put it to the test. 30 minute job and it was 62F outside yesterday, which is about 23 degrees warmer than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
