That's a good question : ) The bolts rotate with the drive shaft because they attach the gear box and the differential to it. if they have not the same weight it can cause a balance problem and vibrations. it can looks like ridiculous but if one is 5 or 10 grams heavier than the others it will cause bad vibrations. that's why you have to check the are the same lenght too. : )
Excellent video, only thing is my eyes grew wide as I saw the grinder come out! My 3 jaw puller took the bearing off without too much trouble. Steady hand, bro!
awesome video, I'm doing exactly this procedure tomorrow AM on my 81 240 wagon, I can almost guarantee my old bearing will have to come off the same way. Glad I watched!
Happy it helped you ! If your drive shaft vibrates : check that the bearing is well seated on the extremity of the shaft, if not it can be the problem too. be sure the two parts of the drive shaft are well bolted together and no crap is between the two contact flat surfaces.
I learned alot from this movie. I have a serious problem on my Volvo 940. I changed the middle bearing part (rubber thing with the metall thing that turns around...LOL :p ) and now the whole car vibrates. because when i took the drive shaft apart, I didn't think that it would have a say that I just entered the shafts together whatever way I would. But now I think maybe I know why it is vibrating and I will check. but I seriously hope that I have the same marks that you did on yours... Thanks! :)
Great video and pretty funny too. My spring came out most of the way and I thought it was not supposed to be there(so I pulled it out, bending it in the process) but now I see that it is meant to be there. I will replace it and hope I don't need to do the bearing and rubber-but if I do your video made it look easy, thanks.
Nice Job. I did this repair on my 1990 Volvo 240 including replacing the rubber part. Hummer did the job for me however. Yours was more difficult to remove.
@volvosweden Thank you for the comment. yeah it was stuck because old and because the factory paint was applied after the bearing was installed Maybe it would have been easier if i removed the paint first.
I'm very happy if it helps you! If you're new bearing is studborn to go on the drive shaft you can let the drive shaft in a freezer few hours or the night to retract the metal and facilitate you the job. Thanks for your comment !
To whom it may concern, you don't want to oil or grease bearing races to the mating surface, the risk would be that it can spin and ruin the part its on
For the beginners; if u gonna heat it up like in 2:20, don't apply the heat to shaft, very simple rule, metal expands... I quess michael did it to remind&teach us...
: ) The bearing was seized on the shaft. I was trying to expand the whole assembly to make it move to unseize the two parts. Just heating the whole stuff is often enough to make them to separate once became cold. the particles of rust,dust of old grease burn and allow movement. I agree on the principle of course,you expand the part wich is around the other to have a bigger dameter and slide it off. i do it to install bearings i use heat and cold at the same time it's really cool : )
If it's just a problem of non matching parts you certainly have marks of wear or like in my case arrow or paint spots. in my case you can only bolt the two parts in two different ways because the holes are not equally distributed : it's a symetrical system if it's like for me just flip one part 180° and retry it . It should be good. Give me news in any case !
@spelunkerd Thank you ! It's a bit the poor man's methods....i wish i had a press for sure. i thought i would have to use the freezer to retract the shaft and use the oven to heat up a bit the bearing but it worked without. i was surprised (and happy)
I doubt it matters, but you show the rubber doughnut side with the lettering on it as "should be installed towards hood". Then when installing on shaft the lettering side is facing the trunk. Great video!
So,i gave the correct indication (i've checked the volvo service manual again) but made a mistake on the installation.... I have to repair my mistake on my car now...luckily i have to swap the gearbox soon.... i may was distracted during the video, i don't know why i messed up. Thanks to you to : )
That`s what I thought I saw. No worry no one will notice. Your video helped a lot, Thanks! I don`t think it matters at all. I looked closely and it fits the same both ways
i just left mine on the shaft and put some grease in, sure the bearing was dry but not damaged, it sounds like a very worn transmission when it needs grease LOL
@hp11208 Thanks ! i don't speak because the English is not my mother tongue. I don't want to sound ridiculous with my shitty accent or hesitate to formulate a sentence while i'm working because it's annoying for you i think. I will try however the next time. just for you ! lol
I have a 85 240 that sounds like a jet taxing down the runway. Would this bearing cause this noise. I think it is the original bearing at 277000 miles. I have already replaced the rubber bushing around the bearing. Great video, thanks a lot.
Yes,like all "rubber" bushings,they deteriorate quite fast as soon the is petroleum producst on it. Mine was dry and clean. I cleaned it detergent when i removed it from under the car. Thank you : ) You had problems with yours ?
Yes the bearing could cause this noise. You should locate the noise quite easily with your ears just behind the 2 front seats. If it was a wheel bearing you would hear it on one side or the other. 277 000 is enough for it lol
well the rear wheel bearings are lubed by differential oil i'm pretty sure so maybe it's low on fluid LOL, i did become very skilled at fixing 240's/had all the factory manuals etc. i'm very familliar with the fuel injection on the 85-90's and wiring and relays etc
if this bearind lasted 300,000 km, it was very good too make it last, every year, use a needle and shoot a bit of grease as most bearings on a Volvo 240, it's generic and they can be found about everywhere these volvo 240 were designed and builted to be easy to maintain. I regret these cars
if it's the bearing on the driveshaft it really should get some grease, i learned the hard way, my bearing siezed and destroyed the rubber part and it sounded like a jack hammer under the car because the drive shaft wasn't being held in place and then my rear transmission seal was destroyed as a result
oust looking up how to do it because after changing a gearbox mount it lifted the axle a little and now the old worn out driveshaft bushing cause the axle to knock around in bumps and engine startups as it does no longer rest on the ruined driveshaft bushing as much :)
indeed here in scandinavia the volvo rwd series is used often for classic folk rallyes or track use and they are popular to tune as the engines are fairly bulletproof and they handle well even sideways, so it's quite a market for parts to them, i buy my bushings and bearings the same website as i buy my suspension mods and bether handling components as bigger swaybars and sport dampers and springs. website is called (www.,pedersenracing.no)
The weight distribution is very good on the 244 ,it's 49% 51% for rear and front ,it helps to go sideways lol I know the two valve evo heads are really popular,i've seen a lot on pictures. You are lucky to have those ressources,it's very difficult here in France to have used parts...
yeah volvo got quite a following up here, even during the winter they are very well behaved on slippery roads and very predictable, personally i got a 88 740, it's been kind to me but i cant say i have treated it with the same love, so now as it gets to the magical veteran age of 30 soon i will start restoring/improving it, the 2 valve stock 530 head is not the best optimised but i have seen ported and machined down stock heads reach up to 280+ NA hp on the flywheel with good twin weber tunes, but that is mostly for rally use. ACM is also a company that have designed a 2 valve head designed in 2016 for the volvo B230 engines and it's said to easily be able to compete with the evo head. Personally i like the linear power you get from the NA engines, and the ability to stroke those B230 engines to 3,1L is a quite the boost of volume for a I4.
what's the symptom? and do you have a video how to use the tool you showed before,and the size for the Bering,any tip will help for my S60 2003 AWD 2.5 turbo
The rubber ring between the drive shaft and the transmission got completely shredded from vibrations probably and then I could find a replacement :( it all started then the carrier barring seized up and I took the drive shaft off to replace it
Wow, I think I would have gone to autozone and borrowed the 3 jaw puller. Or buy one from Harbor freight for 10 bucks or so. But sometimes you gotta go for it with what you have.
michaelovitch that sucks, shows how lucky diy folks are here. 10 minutes from my house I can borrow tons of tools free from parts store. just fixed my 242dl ac and borrowed manifold gauge set and vac pump free. just pay deposit of actual price and they refund 100% when returned within 3 months. sorry that not everybody has similar access...sure makes life easier. cutting hardened bearings off = no fun! BUT you got it done with ingenuity. I've been known to cut,torch,bend wrenches and such to fit a need instead spending big bucks on special tool you have to wait a week to get. sometimes getting creative is part of the fun!
Hey michaelovitch, about how safe do you think it is to drive with this bearing worn out? I know that's my problem, but I cannot get to fixing it for a bit. Thoughts?
+Laurel VanLandingham Hi, as long it's still noisy,and produces the same noise,it's ok. The day it will make an other noise,or no longer noise,you will have problems. : )
Hi michaelovitch tommorow im doing this excact procedure altough i might have a slight problem my spring and cup may have bin lost when the bearing and rubber thing slipped out of place, do i need these parts? if so how important are they and can i drive without them for a little while until i can find the parts and put them on?
Yes,a good idea ! I use a freezer and a oven to do the bearings now : ) I have a video with this trick if you want ruclips.net/video/VXx0oXyEq2k/видео.html
@hp11208 dont think that way everyone has there own language they speak or accent its a common thing,dont worry about that i seen alot of people on youtube with accent who cares i even have one lol.
what happens if you put the rubber housing on backwards? I had it replaced at shop. Now, from a stop, a vibration occurs everytime I accelerate. So, I am thinking they did something wrong. They told me....now...the rear upper control arm bushings need to be replaced.....help
The drive shaft is balanced. Maybe they didn't respect the alignment/balancing marks on the two parts of the driveshaft and it's shaking ? thay are little arrows Maybe the bearing is not installed correctly flat ont he driveshaft ? the rubber housing even on backwards is not a problem i think,they messed up something else. the bushings on the rear control arms are not a problem,they don't wear out very fast. those guys will always find you something to do on your car. if you had no the vibration before to go at the shop don't let them brainwash you with others problems.
michaelovitch I really like my new (old) Volvo. I've had it 1 month and am trying to get it up to par. I wish I had man strength to do things my self, because, you know they will take advantage of women. Regardless, I like my new car. Thank you for the valuable info.
Yes,quite a surprise for me too when thinking. i've no thought about this at all... I've cleaned and greased it after ,but it would have been better to not send crap in it for sure. Thanks : )
A very wide chisel,yes. It's doing the same as a punch. As you can see,there is the old inner race bearing between the two parts. You can beat with whatever you want,as long as you don't damage your parts. You can use a piece of pipe when you have a pipe with apropriate dimensions,that i had not.
Part of this video the guy apples a flame to the bearing DO NOT DO THIS IVE SEEN ONE PERSON DO THIS AND ONE BALL BEARING EXPLODED TAKING HIS EYE OUT YOU ONLY NEED TO DO IT ONCE UDE THE PROPER GEAR ITS NOT WORTH HARMING YOURSELF Andy
Andy Watts Maybe this person used an acetylene torch ? Here it's just propane and only few seconds. bearings do not blow up like that as i know,at worst the grease cook in it and they smoke pretty bad. What happened exactly ?
There has to be one? Do not apply any flame to bearings to try and free the inner flange as one day your luck will run out you only need one ball bearing that is case hardened to have an inner floor which you cannot see and the expansion will make it explode like a grenade our eyes and our life are to precious then to remove a stubborn bearing do the job the safe way which is the only way any hint of harm don't do it because its no worth it Regards Andy
That's a good question : )
The bolts rotate with the drive shaft because they attach the gear box and the differential to it.
if they have not the same weight it can cause a balance problem and vibrations.
it can looks like ridiculous but if one is 5 or 10 grams heavier than the others it will cause bad vibrations.

Excellent video, only thing is my eyes grew wide as I saw the grinder come out! My 3 jaw puller took the bearing off without too much trouble. Steady hand, bro!
Thanks.
I had no puller,i do have now.
The grinder is handy on wheel bearings when you can't insert the jaws behind the inner race.
@@michaelovitch I agree, it takes careful use of what you have to do the job.
awesome video, I'm doing exactly this procedure tomorrow AM on my 81 240 wagon, I can almost guarantee my old bearing will have to come off the same way. Glad I watched!
Much respect !
My calling is to make repairs ; and service ; this level of quality product.
Happy it helped you !
If your drive shaft vibrates : check that the bearing is well seated on the extremity of the shaft, if not it can be the problem too.

Yours was more difficult to remove.
Zero trouble.
Just think to mark all the parts before to remove them.
You have to reinstall them exactly the same way. : )
That last way was how I usually have to do removals as well...good informative video.....Thanks.

never thought about cutting it, hummmmm!!!!! way to not give up man !!!
+Raul Romo
When it's old,and useless cut it ! lol
more time to drink my choco milk !
What a bitch that bearing was! My car is 30 years old - so I guess I can anticipate something similar. Well done vid - who needs words?
To whom it may concern, you don't want to oil or grease bearing races to the mating surface, the risk would be that it can spin and ruin the part its on
Nice demo. A press might have made it easier, if you could position the shaft around it. You did a great job with hand tools.
Thank you very much! I wish I knew that two months ago, if I did I would probably still have my 240 wagon :(
For the beginners; if u gonna heat it up like in 2:20, don't apply the heat to shaft, very simple rule, metal expands... I quess michael did it to remind&teach us...

This video makes me feel better :)
You have a bearing problem ?
michaelovitch I'm trying to pry the rear end transmission seal out and it's very stubborn.
why did you weigh the bolts?
belle boucherie :)
J'ai une presse maintenant,ça va mieux : )
Awesome video! I have to do the same in the near future.
: )
Thanks !
Haver a smooth work.
Lol that strange usually a hammer and a few busted 2x4s usually get the job done lmao, like the different attempts!
I doubt it matters, but you show the rubber doughnut side with the lettering on it as "should be installed towards hood". Then when installing on shaft the lettering side is facing the trunk. Great video!
It matters a bit.
There is a direction to install it properly.
I may have messed up.
I will check on the manual and an untouched car to see...
So,i gave the correct indication (i've checked the volvo service manual again) but made a mistake on the installation....
I have to repair my mistake on my car now...luckily i have to swap the gearbox soon....
i may was distracted during the video, i don't know why i messed up.
Thanks to you to : )

i just left mine on the shaft and put some grease in, sure the bearing was dry but
not damaged, it sounds like a very worn transmission when it needs grease LOL
My bearing problem is not on a 240 it's on a fwd car with a toasted rear bearing,but it's really noisy like you said.
You have a motronic ?
Thanks to you !
You have a nice channel i check it.
i had both but i am more familiar with the late 80's
@hp11208
Thanks !
i don't speak because the English is not my mother tongue.
I don't want to sound ridiculous with my shitty accent or hesitate to formulate a sentence while i'm working because it's annoying for you i think.
I will try however the next time.
just for you ! lol
I have a 85 240 that sounds like a jet taxing down the runway. Would this bearing cause this noise. I think it is the original bearing at 277000 miles. I have already replaced the rubber bushing around the bearing. Great video, thanks a lot.
Make sure the centre support bracket is grease oil free before reinstalling. The rubber donut doesn't like oil or grease.
Yes,like all "rubber" bushings,they deteriorate quite fast as soon the is petroleum producst on it.
Mine was dry and clean.
I cleaned it detergent when i removed it from under the car.
Thank you : )
You had problems with yours ?
Thanks !
Benny hill is a classic but too much used i think.
Yes the bearing could cause this noise.
You should locate the noise quite easily with your ears just behind the 2 front seats.
If it was a wheel bearing you would hear it on one side or the other.
277 000 is enough for it lol
Right : )
They are well made and there is no plastic bullshit everywhere.
You have mechanical fuel injection or electronic ?
well the rear wheel bearings are lubed by differential oil
i'm pretty sure so maybe it's low on fluid LOL, i did become very skilled at fixing 240's/had all the factory manuals etc. i'm
very familliar with the fuel injection on the 85-90's and wiring and relays etc
Wow this is what I want. How to get the bearing out without specific tools.
How much trouble was it to remove the driveshaft from the car? I may have to do this soon. Thanks for the video!
I'm not a professional,so of course i'm an amateur. : )
if this bearind lasted 300,000 km, it was very good
too make it last, every year, use a needle and shoot a bit of grease
as most bearings on a Volvo 240, it's generic and they can be found about everywhere
these volvo 240 were designed and builted to be easy to maintain.
I regret these cars
I agree,they are quite well built.
i don't like todays plastic cars...
Thank's. It was helpfull video!
I am happy to read that !
Thanks to you : )
Thanks ! : )
if it's the bearing on the driveshaft it really should get some
grease, i learned the hard way, my bearing siezed and destroyed
the rubber part and it sounded like a jack hammer under the car
because the drive shaft wasn't being held in place and then my rear transmission seal was destroyed as a result
Did it damaged other parts like the transmission or gear box? That just happened to my 1982 244 Volvo
oust looking up how to do it because after changing a gearbox mount it lifted the axle a little and now the old worn out driveshaft bushing cause the axle to knock around in bumps and engine startups as it does no longer rest on the ruined driveshaft bushing as much :)
You know where to find the new bushing ?
indeed here in scandinavia the volvo rwd series is used often for classic folk rallyes or track use and they are popular to tune as the engines are fairly bulletproof and they handle well even sideways, so it's quite a market for parts to them, i buy my bushings and bearings the same website as i buy my suspension mods and bether handling components as bigger swaybars and sport dampers and springs.

Thanks for thé vidéo m,y friends
Thanks : )
what's the symptom? and do you have a video how to use the tool you showed before,and the size for the Bering,any tip will help for my S60 2003 AWD 2.5 turbo
+h dunkan
A whining noise louder proportionnaly to your engine speed from under will tell you the bearing is kaput.
the tool ?
lol
yep, handy grinder !
i only know volvo 240's, they are sooooooooo easy to work on
What do you call that tool you showed to remove the part?
A bearing puller.
What happened ?
What is that rubber boot under the rubber donut? I can't see a p/n for it anywhere. has it just split from the donut? Thanks!
Around the bearing ?
It's one and only part.
Maybe yours was damaged ?
Hey what kind of grease did you put on the shaft
A simple multi purpose grease,there is a boot to protect,so no risks to see it washed away.
Mine wouldn't let me replace just the bearing , 80.00 dollars for a custom piece of cheap plastic and bearing .
ouch !
i've bought one after that...
but no harbor freight here. : )
(Volvo Mechanic interviewing a prospective apprentice mechanic :)
“ How are you with patient perseverance ? “
The rubber ring between the drive shaft and the transmission got completely shredded from vibrations probably and then I could find a replacement :( it all started then the carrier barring seized up and I took the drive shaft off to replace it
Wow, I think I would have gone to autozone and borrowed the 3 jaw puller. Or buy one from Harbor freight for 10 bucks or so. But sometimes you gotta go for it with what you have.
For sure,they don't borrow tools here,you pay or you have nothing lol
There a no such corporations or automotive friendly things like that : )
michaelovitch that sucks, shows how lucky diy folks are here. 10 minutes from my house I can borrow tons of tools free from parts store. just fixed my 242dl ac and borrowed manifold gauge set and vac pump free. just pay deposit of actual price and they refund 100% when returned within 3 months. sorry that not everybody has similar access...sure makes life easier. cutting hardened bearings off = no fun! BUT you got it done with ingenuity. I've been known to cut,torch,bend wrenches and such to fit a need instead spending big bucks on special tool you have to wait a week to get. sometimes getting creative is part of the fun!

+Laurel VanLandingham
Hi,
as long it's still noisy,and produces the same noise,it's ok.
The day it will make an other noise,or no longer noise,you will have problems.
: )
Hi michaelovitch tommorow im doing this excact procedure altough i might have a slight problem my spring and cup may have bin lost when the bearing and rubber thing slipped out of place, do i need these parts? if so how important are they and can i drive without them for a little while until i can find the parts and put them on?
Hi.
They are necessary.
You can use the car a bit without.them,but don't be long.
Otherwise the rubber will not like that...
michaelovitch alright i just need to make it from one town to another i guess i will have to go for it
I would let the bearing end of the driveshaft sit in a bucket of dry ice. The new bearing would drop right on that way.
Yes,a good idea !
I use a freezer and a oven to do the bearings now : )
I have a video with this trick if you want
ruclips.net/video/VXx0oXyEq2k/видео.html
@hp11208 dont think that way everyone has there own language they speak or accent its a common thing,dont worry about that i seen alot of people on youtube with accent who cares i even have one lol.
what happens if you put the rubber housing on backwards?
I had it replaced at shop. Now, from a stop, a vibration occurs everytime I accelerate.
So, I am thinking they did something wrong. They told me....now...the rear upper control arm bushings need to be replaced.....help
The drive shaft is balanced.
Maybe they didn't respect the alignment/balancing marks on the two parts of the driveshaft and it's shaking ?
thay are little arrows
Maybe the bearing is not installed correctly flat ont he driveshaft ?
the rubber housing even on backwards is not a problem i think,they messed up something else.
the bushings on the rear control arms are not a problem,they don't wear out very fast.
those guys will always find you something to do on your car.
if you had no the vibration before to go at the shop don't let them brainwash you with others problems.
michaelovitch I really like my new (old) Volvo. I've had it 1 month and am trying to get it up to par. I wish I had man strength to do things my self, because, you know they will take advantage of women. Regardless, I like my new car.
Thank you for the valuable info.
Sam Cabraloff
They will take advantage of men too : (
Thanks to you !
In my parents car it's a wheel bearing.
I think you got the worst that could happen to you with this bearing : (
hi my front drive propeler make it noise .. what is the cause ?
+Joel Juntilla
the front axle ?
lol sure !
There is a dead rear wheel bearing so noisy on my parents car wich make you think the whole thing is going to blow up lol
yeah its front axle
A bearing puller from Harbor Freight is $10 and could have saved you a lot of grief.
Surprised you didn't stuff a rag into the female splines when using an abrasive grinder.
Yes,quite a surprise for me too when thinking.
i've no thought about this at all...
I've cleaned and greased it after ,but it would have been better to not send crap in it for sure.
Thanks : )
Uh how to get the thing off in the first place
4 bolts on one extremity,the other side just slide out : )
كاردن فولفو صالون
nice methods,but you dont talk at all in your vids why lol.
It looks so fragile.
It wasnt that easy to take of the rubber thing on a 740...

no!do not working on air.use "vise"

ok,
i had no vise
now i have one : )
buy a workbench and a vice, you will not regret it
I have one now !

Thanks !
15:30 years of experience volvo guys do it safer😎
With lube you mean ? : )
michaelovitch yup
When you work on the rear end,i think it's always a necessity ; )
michaelovitch definitely is can confirm 😂
guys i need advice .
OMG you are beating on the new bearing with a ?? Scraper tool, really?, At least next time use a piece of pipe and how did you index the driveshaft?
A very wide chisel,yes.
It's doing the same as a punch.
As you can see,there is the old inner race bearing between the two parts.
You can beat with whatever you want,as long as you don't damage your parts.
You can use a piece of pipe when you have a pipe with apropriate dimensions,that i had not.
Ah nice, did not see the other bearing, sorry I should have looked closer.
Part of this video the guy apples a flame to the bearing DO NOT DO THIS IVE SEEN ONE PERSON DO THIS AND ONE BALL BEARING EXPLODED TAKING HIS EYE OUT YOU ONLY NEED TO DO IT ONCE UDE THE PROPER GEAR ITS NOT WORTH HARMING YOURSELF Andy

Maybe this person used an acetylene torch ?
Here it's just propane and only few seconds.
bearings do not blow up like that as i know,at worst the grease cook in it and they smoke pretty bad.
What happened exactly ?
There has to be one? Do not apply any flame to bearings to try and free the inner flange as one day your luck will run out you only need one ball bearing that is case hardened to have an inner floor which you cannot see and the expansion will make it explode like a grenade our eyes and our life are to precious then to remove a stubborn bearing do the job the safe way which is the only way any hint of harm don't do it because its no worth it Regards Andy
