WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Only Volvo approved engine oil may be used. Grease must not be used at all. It attracts dirt and results in the build up of coke.
Lubricate the sealing ring mating surface against the cylinder block and the lips of the seal.
Thread the seal onto the beveled section of the inner section of tool 9997174 with the felt side of the seal outwards. Install the drift on the crankshaft, 2x screws, for the flywheel. Pull in the seal using the outer section of the drift: 9997174 using the screw in the center of the tool. The seal is in position when the outer drift bottoms out against the inner drift. Remove the tool: 9997174 . Discard the old screws for the flywheel.
