Volvo 270 top end disassembly

[Holy Shamolee]

I have oil in my bellows.
I am trying to get the part of the top end off that has the u joints connected to it.
There are 4 allen screws.
I managed to strip everyone of them.
I drilled the heads off them.
I think I did an ok job.
I managed to get the 4 washers out.
I have pounded it pretty hard with a rubber mallet.
It will not budge.
Has anyone taken one of these apart?
Does it come apart hard even if you get the screws out properly?
As I look at the schematics, it doesn'look like anything else holding it.
But, I could be wrong.
Does anyone know if there is anything else I have to disconnect

Probably get more inout in the VP section, GA_Boater will probably move it

Hey Scott Danforth have some advice

 

[Scott Danforth]

youre talking the front bearing carrier on the input of the transmission, correct?

there are the 4 allen head bolts holding it in, and there are o-rings and permatex #3 sealing it and holding it in. however if there is corrosion on the bolts, it may not come apart willingly.

depending on the vintage of your drive, you either have shims or a crush sleeve you will need to purchase, along with a new sealing thrust washer, and input seal. follow the manual to set the rolling torque.

I just took off the bolts that hold the gearbox on . Specifically, the two allen bolts above the shift mechanism. They were threaded top to bottom. I sure hope the ones that i drilled the tops off are not like that. If they are, I am in for a boatload of trouble.

There are 4 bolts holding the gearbox in place.

Replace the o-ring and seal the surface with permatex #3 durring reassembly

(its all in the factory manual which you will need)

Better buy myself a manual. Save a bunch of trouble down the line.

Get the "factory" manual.
Clymer/Seloc don't have enough info for all repairs.
