I have the issue where the bolt on the drive gear on the READ side loosened. I have a new gear but am unable to torque it. When I apply force it turns the READ system and the serp. belt accessory pulleys. How do I hold this gear to get proper torque?

The gear I am trying to hold to torque: https://usparts.volvocars.com/p/Volv.../30750136.html

 

Did you solve the problem as to why the bolt came loose?

The bolt comes loose because the one way clutch on the alternator is bad. If you don't replace the pulley in the front of the alternator - you will have a loose drive gear bolt again shortly. (been there, done that)

 

Yes, alternator clutch replaced!

 

@hoonk Any tips on stabilizing the gear to get it torqued?

 

Hello sir, I have same problem, did you solve the problem?
