Some DIY installers have successfully modified the 48 tooth tone If your G80 came with a 48 tooth tone ring (standard for all ABS equipped Volvos) and your electronic speedo 240 uses a 12 tooth tone ring (standard for NON-ABS 240s), your speedometer will not work correctly. <<< I have not personally experienced this MATCO puller tool, but it looks pretty good in the below videos: If you damage them, this means you'll need new bearings. This tool, it is reportedly more difficult to remove these bearings Reportedly, if you have the correct VOLVO BEARING PULLER TOOL (shown here), then pulling these bearings can allegedly be done without damaging them. Needing to change, pull or adjust bearings, here's a little info below that may I have not removed the bearings from a donor G80 yet. In each case I have simply installed the G80 in my car with the bearings andĬame with the G80 from the donor car.
