I need to buy a new tool... Deep step spanners for undoing suspension tops.
I have the proper Volvo tools for the 850, but this is for general use (like the golf)..

I've bought step spanners before and they aren't step enough to fit the recess, so I've ended up using a pair of mole grips on the leg itself.

Look at this on eBay:
