I have a funny feeling that I had to do the same as you at one time and remove the rear place complete to get the engine pad off as the bolts wouldn't move. Good then get heat on it and shock it loose. The dissimilar metals Volvo loves to use is often a pain due to road salt helping them meld togeth...

Here is the go-to site for part numbers...you will need your VIN to get the right engine mount number

I’ve got the early 1998 engine mount spare, I think

Glad you were able to find it and you found there was a difference in the years.

Good luck with the removal!

If you take off the lower timing belt cover , which is an M8 bolt with a 10 mm hex head, you should be able to get to that bolt at the front of car, left side of engine

Those bolts will be too tight and bound in for anything other than a socket. Get good access even if you have to pull the timing belt and pulley

The back of that big pulley is running the timing belt. If you mess that up,….it’s expensive. Like $2500 expensive. I’ve cut corners on a timing belt job like using zip ties to hold the engine in time but always verified the marks before cranking, as the sound of valves and pistons hitting is distur...

No red or white hot heat needed. Just get 30 seconds of propane heat on the bolt head. Use wood to deflect the flame ftom plastic stuff

And just to confirm, on a 99 S70, that pipe by the crank pulley IS the fuel line from the tank!! I was at PnP today and there was a 99 S70 NA there. As it was up on stands it was easy to follow the pipe back. It rises up and meets a chromed cone. The is the fuel pipe disconnect to the fuel tank in t...

If there is any load on the bracket from the engine it will make the threads bind. Because of the different metals of the bolts and the block, they may have corrodes/fused. Localised heat as abscate suggests may be the way forward, but my note on that line is it is the fuel line. Strangely heat and ...

The more difficult to access somethin to fix it is proportional to the more issues you have!
