Volvo Repair: wheel bearings, wheel bearings, s80 t6


Question
could you tell me how hard it is to change the wheel bearings on a s80 t6 1999.the bearings come already with a casing around them and so no need for a bearing puller.could you tell me if this easy or a hard job,i consider myself fairly handy
thanks paul

Answer
it is fairly easy.just remove the wheel ,caliper,and rotor.then disconnect the 14mm bolt holding the drive axle in the hub,then disconnect the spindle where it attaches to the strut .then the spindle will pull down so you can get the bolts that hold the hub assembly on.
