On the C70, diesel and X70 police cars they have 5 bolt wishbones rather than the 3 bolt on other models and some of the bolts can't be removed without moving the subframe/engine. It's a stupid design for maintenance but no doubt wasn't an assembly issue at the factory...

When I renewed the wishbones on my dads old C70 I reused the old ones that couldn't be removed easily. The only one you absolutely must renew is the pinch bolt & nut for the ball joint.
