00 V40 Cam gear seal removal HELP
Hello so i took my car to the local shop, they said my can gear seal is gone and that's were the oil is leaking from. i can do most things at home I have a lot of tools, but I have been told that for the Volvo I need a special Can gear removal tool, because if I don't have that tool, as soon as I pull the cam gear off the camshaft will loose its timing position. IS THIS TRUE or not?? I don't want spend $800 at shop to replace a seal.
Thank you

I have but nothing That's why i logged inn in most of the Volvo forums to ask people that know how to work on Volvos for help, but in 3 different forum no one seems to know how to replace the seal. I am in shock that no one knows. i worked on hondas for over 10 years and i can do everything with my eyes closed, but never worked on a Volvo and I was told that i need a cam removal tool or the camshaft would jump its timing once I remove the cam gear. but i don't see how that could happen?

If it were my car I'd try an Auto-Rx treatment before doing any wrenching. The worst that can happen is that you'll be out 30 bucks.
