Volvo recommend new bolts as they have thread lock applied . I re-used the old bolts but applied thread-lock on re-assembly, much cheaper . The leg clamping bolt in the hub carrier can be a PITA as it corrodes . Some heat and plus gas should sort that. Re spring compressor . I used two sets as a single set tended to slip sideways and was scary .Make sure you line up the spring with its seating before releasing the compressors . If in doubt take plenty of pics before compressing the spring .
Don't allow the shocker spindle to rotate/spin when tightening as it can damage the seal.
