MVS Contributor Zachary shows us how to replace the rear hub in a AWD P2 Volvo:
“I am happy to share photos and details of the process to replace your rear wheel bearing/hub assembly on a 2001 Volvo V70XC (same as the XC70 in the next few subsequent years, and also XC90 applicable. This is for AWD models with a splined hub on the rear axle.
Tools needed: Tire Iron 19mm socket/ or breaker wrench; (for lug nuts to remove rim/wheel), flathead screwdriver and 7mm allan key wrench (for brakes caliper disassembly), 13mm Socket (for brakes), 14mm socket for center of hub bolt. 17mm socket/wrench for four wheel hub bolts. Hub/Bearing Puller Kit (for older rusty hubs.) Optional 18mm to remove some of the suspension to reach lower rear hub bolt if you don’t have certain
I’ve done hubs on a few different vehicles and I was expecting it to be a more difficult job on this P2 Volvo, but this was actually quite an easy one. I’m sharing to dispel any anxiety for those who are curious or concerned about what it takes. You can do it!”
