Default Change plugs - how to remove turbo pipe?

I want to change the spark plugs on my 99 S70GLT. Looks like I need to remove the turbo pipe that runs over the top of the engine in order to remove the plug cover. What's the best way to do this? Thanks.

you don't have to remove it. You can work around it, not hard.

That cover will sneak out from under the tube. I suggest you use Volvo plugs.

If you want to remove it, just unscrew the two hose clamps holding it in place on the rear and front turbo hoses that attach to it. Then unscrew the small brace that holds it in place as well. It looks like a strap going around it.
