    Referencing your write up Astro "Major torque needed to remove the pinion nut." Can this nut be loosened before un-mounting AG?

    I would think so. It's question of clearance and ability to swing the wrench under there. I would imagine that if the transmission were still in park, that you wouldn't need the counter hold that I used, so you would just need the socket and wrench.

    The TSB (Volvo) procedure has you do it on the bench, as I recall...so, I'm wondering if Volvo had a good reason to not put the 150+ ftlbs on it while it was still bolted up.

    I've got no idea if there might be a concern.

    Astro14, That is very impressive!!! Good work!!!! I'm no where near mechanically inclined to do that work! Did you put a magnetic drain plug in it?

    I used a Gold Plug magnetic drain plug.

    I did this a second time on my R Angle Gear. I used a Time-Sert to strengthen the threads. So far the threads on the XC are holding up, but on the R, since, I had it apart, and it was on the bench, I used the time-sert.

    The Time-Sert advantage is stronger (steel) threads to protect against overzealous mechanics in the future (I won’t be able to Servide the car when it’s out of state). Disadvantages are cost (Timesert kits are expensive) and a few ML that will be left in the bottom of the casing as the rest of the oil drains, since the insert goes into the case by just a couple mm.
