Well it IS possible. Look here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLVO-850-V70-...QQcmdZViewItem

Looks crazy and I don't think it will hold up as well as the stock system.

And for the price I'd save your money for something better.

Yes, grab onto it and pull like hell is what I have heard from tech. I have never taken one off though, so that is just based on what I read.

Make sure you release the retaining ring at the bottom of the actual ****. It's the boot. Otherwise you will pull that off from the bottom.

Put it in neutral, make sure parking brake is on. and pull reallly hard. try not to punch your self though! [8D]
