Ronny Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 looks like part of that upper rad hose connection broke offYes it did. I "bumped" the upper hose with my breaker bar. The fitting crumbled up like a graham cracker. I'm glad I broke it then instead of having it happen on the road somewhere. The replacement rad is from and '87 740 and it's all brass. Looks like an aftermarket unit and doesn't quite fit perfectly but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lucas Adamson Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Do you get Haynes Service Manuals in USA. In the UK they are standard and pretty amazing guides to your car, and replacing most things, with step by steps and photos.Lucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeFatTigers Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 That's my crankshaft pulley holder. (patent pending) So how does that work? In that photo, it looks like maybe you used the wood to apply tension to the drive belts, which even if that would work, it wouldn't be a good idea to put that kind of rotational stress the crank pulley where the rubber separating the two parts of the pulley might fail (or lead to a future premature pulley failure) under the enormous torque required to R&R the crank bolt.

The Volvo Crank tool is the ideal way but I didn't get one. I did however, make sure that there was equal tension on all three grooves. I only used one foot to hold it then pushed my breaker bar to undo the nut. Same thing in reverse and I was able to torque to 42ft/lbs (?) plus 1/6 turn. If I damaged it, I'll find out soon enough. By the way, there is no more oil leaking from the front of the engine. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Fat Tigers Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Neither is his. I just pulled the cover on my 230ft and you cannot draw a straight line between the marks as he shows. The one on Mike's site is from the Volvo service manual.O'RLY?*cough* (click on image for a larger version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
