If i may on the droplinks, to help remove, on my v70 i got an open end spanner on the inside of the droplink, if you look it has two flat sides, i think a 13mm fits, you can then put a socket on the front nut.

Alex, made a start on mine, and hit a problem. The t30 doesnt fit and the bottom nut is rusted, so i wonder if they are cheapos replaced in the past.
Now need an angle grinder.

Believe it or not, both bottom nuts came off with very little effort, as they were greased up. I had more problems with the top ones. I used the wire brush to clean the area where the T30 was fitted and used a bit of WD40. If all else fails, angle grinder it is. I only bought one recently and have already used it a coupleof times.
