    Bellows adhesive or not?

    Im installing new U joint and exhaust bellows on an 07 SX-A drive. Neither the instructions that came with the OE kit, or the service manual call for adhesive. However my sealing surfaces were a bit corroded. After cleaning them up they are a little bit pitted. I’m considering using adhesive...

    Gimbal oil seal replacement

    I was finally able to pull the bearing by rotating the jack plate in order to seat on two bolt holes on opposite corners. Worked perfectly.

    Gimbal oil seal replacement

    Went to pull the gimbal bearing today with the new tool i bought and the bolt hole pattern on the tool plate doesn’t match the outdrive bolt pattern. After looking at lots of videos I realized they are all older outdrives than mine. So perhaps the bolt pattern is different?. Mine is an 07 SX-A...

    Gimbal oil seal replacement

    Yes sir, I have the manual and have reviewed it. Sure enough, it says to remove the old bearing and seal, then install new ones. Not exactly the level of insight I was seeking, but I’ll make it work.

    Gimbal oil seal replacement

    Hello all I’ve got all new parts and tools to replace my gimbal bearing and oil seal. I’ve found lots of videos on replacing the bearing and feel pretty comfortable with tackling that.

    Shift cable seals part numbers

    Yes, i actually did use the drive number. That’s how Volvo has the website broken down. It actually shows the item in one diagram but its not a numbered item with corresponding part. Frustrating.

    Shift cable seals part numbers

    I pulled my SX-A drive today. I’ll be replacing the gimbal bearing and both bellows. I found part numbers for everything on the Volvo webpage. However I also need shift cable seals and can’t seem to find them in any of the Volvo parts diagrams. Does anyone know where I might find these?

    Probably not worth the effort. Might actually make things worse.

    Gimbal bearing lubrication without zirc fitting

    Ok so follow up question that might be dumber than my previous one. Is it possible to add the grease tube and zirc fitting in order to make the gimbal bearing lubeable? Im already going to be in there so just wondering.

    Gimbal bearing lubrication without zirc fitting

    Yeah i knew the answer before I asked the question. But I had to ask. Just sold my 84’ model Merc with original gimbal that I’d greased annually. My 07 appears to need replaced. Glad we found a “better” way.

    Gimbal bearing lubrication without zirc fitting

    Hi all, My Volvo SX drive on 07 Hurricane has no zirc fitting to lube the gimbal bearing. I’m planning to pull the drive for routine service and want to know if I can manually lube the bearing by hand? Thanks

    New to Volvo family

    I’m afraid to run it on muffs out of the water. But if it were clogged somewhere wouldn’t I have cooling problems in the water?
