Fake-R Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I tried using the old seal. Do you have any tips? Its weird, the XC is such a pain to work on. Its kind of different from any s70 or 850 I've ever worked on. The jobs are usually a lot harder/more difficult because of all the extra shit in the way. On my car the axle seals were really easy to get in. The XC, not the case I used a socket that matched up to the size of the seal, and hit that with a hammer. After it held on its own, just made sure it was even, with some light tapping with just the hammer. Hopefully this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreo931 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 That ring is getting smaller with every tool, part, fluid you buy for that money pit. Its really not a money pit. Just required a little more money/work than I anticipated. Not a big deal. I'll plan better next time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yangotang Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Edit: I'm sure some of you know how much of a PITA it is working on a high mileage car that sat for a while. Especially with busted axles on both sides. Read: CV grease EVERYWHERE. I even had to go out and buy a $90 3/4" wrench to get the axle nuts off each side. I busted 2 breaker bars trying to take them off! Powertools are you friend. 710lb/ft of torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesoam Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 isn't the OBX cheaper? I've been interested in seeing someone get the OBX and cut it up then weld in a quality muffler/resonator/cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been interested in seeing someone get the OBX and cut it up then weld in a quality muffler/resonator/cat After shipping it is right under $500 for a full 3" DP to 2.5" CatBack A couple guys have installed a good CAT and muffler 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
