Aghhh! Anyone know how to remove the oil deflector off this thing? I've removed the top locking ring.

Thank

Bob!

That is actually a seal, not an oil deflector. You also have more problems than just how to replace that seal. You also need to disassemble the bearings and replace the crush sleeve, and reset the rolling torque.
Here's a link to the OEM service manual. There are two upper gear boxes shown in the manual, you want to use the one starting on page 46 of the manual.

I am also going to move this thread over to the Volvo section.

thanks Don! I've checked the manual, but can't seem to see how to remove it. I can see where we push the bearings through from the opposite direction of the image I posted, but is thee anything ele fuky with this seal? It seems to be rubber over metal. I wish I had a good look at a diassembled one.

thanks!

Bob!
