I don't know if it can be done by yourself. Seems to be some regulations in the USA about who can perform this operation. The last time I had it done at a garage it was about $70 USD. No need to have it done at the Volvo dealer. Any garage can do it.

Plenty of advice can be found here:-

From what I've heard it costs between £40.00 - £70.00 depending on where you go to get it done.
