Does anyone have a VIDA steps in replacing the right side drive shaft on a 2005 V50 T5 AWD automatic transmission? Any guidance will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

I don't have the Vida instructions but I can put down what I have by memory.
First step, remove the wheel of course .
Next you loosen the 21 mum but holding the ball joint. The ball joint may not want to come out of the knuckle so I normally hit the control arm a couple of times with a hammer.
Once its loose you have to find a way to separate the ball joint from the knuckle remove the axle bolt from the center of the hub.
Next remove the 2 bolts for the bearing retainer located on the back of the engine block (12mm if I'm not mistaken)
Once the bolts and half of the retainer are removed swing the strut assembly to the side so you can remove the axle from the hub and pull the axle out of the transmission.

 

Sounds like this video:

 

Thank you guys! If somehow someone else reads my plead for help and has the VIDA instructions, please post the document. Novices always like to follow written instructions.

 

Haynes Chapter 8 of the Volvo S40 & V50 #4731 manual covers this. Still available...
