Crank seal replacement: 2 to 3 hours ($25 / $350 / $500)
In this video I replace the front crank shaft seal on my 1995 Volvo 850. The video is NOT detailed, it doesn’t show the steps prior to pulling the harmonic balancer, etc, stuff like setting the timing, removing the front wheel, etc. The links below can guide you through those steps.

This is the same process for most Volvo’s built after 1992 through 2014.

Robert. Thank you for this superb video.
Brake cleaner brother, it went back together dirty lol
Robert, your timing is impeccable! I just bought an S60 with a leaking crank seal. It arrives tonight. The value of your videos to the Volvo community is immeasurable. Thank you.
