New 4/18/11 to the forum…I have a 2004 S60R 6 speed manual with 65K. Having owned it since 58K it has a dealership diagnosed leak at the angle gear differential, said to be an $800 fix. I would like help with:
All parts necessary to repair myself and a good online source for these parts.
Any tips on the steps to complete this repair and if any special tools are required and what specifically is the fluid used in this unit. I’d like to top it up first and foremost. Thanks in advance for any help offered. Best Regards, Peterson

What fun. Some parts & stuff Angle gear awd, 2003-. Fits: S60, V70, V70 XC | VolvoPartsWebstore.com
Also at the Brickboard is a great write-up of the angle gear and shaft repair. 1998 model year. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/volvo/...r_rebuild.html
Bearings and seals can be had by ordering by their individual numbers from a bearing house, not the dealer.
There's also the salvage yards.
