    Bit fiddly and you'll get oil all over yourself but not technically demanding.

    not done a how to, but it is an easy and straight forward job tbh, that is as long as it's not an AWD.....I changed the flange seal, block seal and return pipe when I did mine as a kind gentleman said "if your doing it do the lot with volvo parts and you'll have no leaks" and how right he was 4.5 years in still no leaks.....still think I could have skipped the return pipe for the same result....but hay ho no leaks so far........
