'89 240 wagon, just bought it, 200k, beautiful- Timing belt has been changed, but according to service records, it's been a long time. I should replace timing belt, cam oil seal, probably waterpump. I've done a lot of significant repairs on my Honda Civic, (I have put a clutch in a Civic before. no picnic.) MG, Beemer bike, tractor, never worked on a Volvo before. How tough is doing a timing belt, special tools, etc. chance of really screwing up things etc... THANKS!!! Dave

tech- thanks for the link. How does a camshaft oilseal figure into the process?

 

Once the belt is off you will need to remove the pulleys to get the old seals out.
