You'll have to take a Dremel with a small cutting wheel and cut a slot into the head of the bolt. Then use a screwdriver to back the bolt out. Have somebody hold a mirror so you can see what you're doing.dahammer wrote:Matt,
I am having difficulty removing two of the four bolts and I think the heads are a little buggered up. I am driving a 1998 S70 n/a. Do you have any suggestions to help in removing these?

Hi Matty, I haven't been on the board in awhile, but belated thanks for the suggestion. My brother in law is a machinist, so he can handle a precision job like this, plus he works for beer. I am thinking a case of Yuengling will do it, but depending on the degree of difficulty, I may have to get him some Victory Festbier.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Matt, I bought a rebuild from you last year for my 2000 C70. My vehicle was recently totaled and I am looking at a 2002. Does the 2002 C70 ABS module have the same issue or was it resolved before then? I just need to know if I need to use it in price negotiations.

The c70 uses that style of module up to 2004, so the 02 is going to have the same type as your 2000.EverRespect wrote:Matt, I bought a rebuild from you last year for my 2000 C70.

I seen in your post that you don't rebuilt any S80's. Any suggestions on a reliable site that will?

Hey Matt, I see your location is Ann Arbor. Are you willing to do the exchange in person? I don't live far from there, so I'd be willing to remove my module and drive to you if that's an option. Probably easier/cheaper/faster than shipping.
