Referring back to my post #6.
Whilst contemplating the replacement of a front wheel bearing I did some research and decided that it was beyond my capabilities due the bearing having to be pressed in. During this research I witnessed a local indi. pressing (hammering ) a bearing into a carrier held in a vice. Not for a Volvo. I definitely did not want ours fitted in such a way. Having also learned that the force of the press needs to be exerted against the outer shell of the bearing and NOT on the bearing itself. (A common error as I am led to believe) I also learned that serious force is required and some presses simply are not up to it. We entrusted the replacement to a local well trusted Volvo indi. who, following discussion of our concerns, guaranteed that they had previous experience and knew precisely what they were doing. That was some time ago and to date we have had no problems.
