Volvo Upper Gear Box Yoke Screw

[jastacey]

I'm rounding up the parts to reseal the upper gearbox (280 leg ) and I'm getting conflicting answears, the local parts people said that I really don't have to replace the yoke screw, if it's not damaged, but the shop manuals say I should, ( my feeling is that when you tighten the screw you'll stretch it, and you don't want to use it again )and to add to the issue , Volvo has that screw on back order, with no shipping date ... my supplier say's they can't get an answear ... as to a ship date

I NEVER reuse that screw, have seen the outcome when they break. It costs a lot of money to replace a complete drive when that screw head breaks off.<br />I think you might also want to find another supplier. I just checked Volvo on the availablity of the screw, and there is no back order for it. It's available.<br />The number for that screw is 851293. You might even check out dougrussell.com, I would bet they have them.

Re: Volvo Upper Gear Box Yoke Screw

does your 280 use a crush sleeve? most did and if it has a crush sleeve it cannot be reused either.<br /> but never ever reuse that bolt, like DonS I have sen what happens when it breaks and its not pretty.
