97 Volvo 850 Axle Replacement and Brake Job

[@dwightcarlson7136]

I vaguely remember disconnecting the ball joint from the control arm rather than the control arm from the frame. I think I also loosened the three bolts which attach the strut to the body in order to make the strut easier to move.

[@dwightcarlson7136]

Did you loosen)break free the axle nut while the wheels were on the ground to prevent stress on the transmission internals?

[@dwightcarlson7136]

I guess you didn't put in new oil seals on the transmission outputs?

Why wont my mechanic change my axel in my 850 manual fwd na wagon. I have a turbo t5 fwd axel. It looks smaller but same size at carrier beari g and both have 26 spline.... And a turbo axel will carry non turbo power... What gives?
