Did my shocks and springs today on my 98 v70 with this write up as my guide, thanks. I sheared off two of the shock mount bolts, I tried not to. I had purchased the bolts as recommended and also bought flanged nuts to go with them. Instead of swearing at the broken bolt I just hammered them out with a punch. Instead of having a helper with the nut I used epoxy putty around the flanged part of the nut making sure none went on the thread, then hand tightened the bolt in place until the epoxy set. Worked great.
