About time I did something with these parts laying around. Our 1993 240 wagon is due for a center support bearing replacement. Info@deanofmachines.com BrapBrapDean on instagram
Another approach when installing the new bearing onto the driveshaft is to put the driveshaft into the freezer for a hour or two and put the bearing in the oven at 150-175 Deg F. This will make the bearing easier to mount.
Another fine video! Certainly some creativity involved, but that's just how these jobs go without dealer specific special tools. When I am at the point of barely touching the gas pedal and engine braking while driving my Amazon, I get a propeller sound and feel some vibration. I suppose it is the drive shaft flopping around. The parts are new, but I have observed that the bushings for the center support bearing have larger diameter holes than the pins they slide into. Thus, it can move around some. Might need to make my own bushings that have no play.
ive own a few volvos over the years and saabs the 344 volvo was great and the 440 turbo wish id never sold that it was staged up for rally and a fwd ,was fast and was like rideing on rails ,ive had 6 240s and a t40 was fast but not a patch on the 440 turbo i had
Hey Dean! Thanks for great content! Those nuts falling off was about to get some drama but ended up safe and sound :). Great teamwork guys! And man! that silver wagon - the everyday hero!
As always, great video. I don’t think that fuel line repair came from factory. I’d double check the work for safety. Nice job. That sts mount looks pretty beefy. Great comparison.
How many ft/lbs do the four bolts at the front of the driveshaft need to be torqued to? I'm about to replace the center bearing on my 240 but I have not been able to find the torque specs for those bolts

trash can close up
subtle
I'm glad someone caught it LOL
Gasp, are you saying the TDI is a piece of garbage?
@@kilgree i would never
Excellent channel. Please keep the 240 videos coming. Thank you!
You got it David! We only have 6 240's at the moment, hopefully we don't burn through the content too quickly!

You are absolutely right! Its amazing how much material and change due to heat or cold
Love that silver '93 245! Last year for the 200 series, end of an era.
They really, and I mean really, don’t make them like they use to.
Your humor seamlessly weaving together and solving another problem, if you could describe a 240 as a problem?
Cudos mate👍
It is an experience. Good or bad is not to be decided.

Driveline vibration is usually subtle but annoying enough to be a problem.
Excellent videos with. Rey helpful 240 content. Please keep them coming. Thank you!
You got it David!
Still here and in focus ! Nice job !
Helloooo Arie! Welcome back!
Never been away! Like the stains in your undies! 😜
I’ll be adding this to my list of things to do on my 242.
The list of neeeds.
always fun
The joys of filler content while I pull my hair out with this 122.
Great fighting job 🤣, I am glad to see it isn’t just me that has to fight with my tools 😂👍
If it was easy everyone would be doing it! Or rather, maybe the fun is in the struggle... I'm not quite sure.

I love the old turbo cars. They have a raw, mean feeling about them

The best part was that its a rental tool and it was terrible! Happy we could return it when we finished.
Thank you.
Another exciting maintenance video!

Some day I hope to need such a mount!

Thats a great question. I’ve always gone for “good and tight”
