erikv11 Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 I pulled the angle gear and it's bad, input shaft splines stripped. I'm going to run the car FWD for a while. Transmission side of the collar sleeve looks perfect, so does the trans output shaft. So here are my questions: (1) any reason not to re-use this sleeve until I get another angle gear? (2) the collar sleeve came out very easily - it stayed with the AG when I pulled the AG. I can fairly easily slide the collar in and out of the trans side now. I know I got lucky for removal but Is that normal and/or OK for re-using the collar? (3) what's recommended for install of the collar? Options I can think of are (a) put a retainer on the axle like the two hose clamp method (seems fine), or bolt a retainer plate to the trans case, or (b) loctite on the collar splines trans side (how much? what color? use a retainer anyway or no?). If I do the loctite then how difficult will it be to remove it later? (4) still struggling to get the rear of the prop shaft to release on my garage floor. Tomorrow I'm going to try an air hammer on the bolt-through-the-unthreaded-hole-in-the-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikv11 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Got the prop shaft out the other day, made some clearance back there and get an air hammer bit on a bolt through the rear of the big housing. Popped right out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hgray14 Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Sorry to only have questions and no answers for you but have a 2007 S60R with 150k and have been wondering when/if I'm going to have to deal with mine. Why did you pull it? Did you know it was bad? Does it throw codes or cause sounds/vibrations? Can I assume the car is still driveable even if the AG is bad? How long did it take to replace and how hard was it? (My experience level is that I've gotten as deep as replacing shocks/struts but never opened up an engine or tranny.) How do you run it in only FWD (what protections/precautions need to be taken?) I have seen some cheap used ones and was thinking of picking one up just so I don't get jammed up if mine needs to be replaced. Anything in particular I should be looking for to make sure I'm not wasting my time? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
