2004 S60 Headlight lens replacement

Is it true you HAVE to take the bumber off to get to the headlight lenses for replacement for this car?

I've been searching for a tutorial on changing out the headlight lens and the closest thing I could find was an '01 S80 which you have to take the bumper off. sigh.

Cleaning coolant from carpet

Heater core nightmare = coolant carpet. What is the best way to clean it from the carpet without removing the carpet? I've read that water would help remove the coolant combined with a wet shopvac, but then the floorboards would eventually rust. What about soaking the carpets with rubbing alcohol an...

Re: Crap, what now. Rotors

K, the rear rotors are different from anything I've seen on this website. I took off a couple bolt off the back of the caliper but there is a metal hose that is inhibiting its mobility. Anyone have any suggestions.... cough.Lee!cough
