I just replaced the right motor mount on my '94 855. I followed the directions given on Bay 13 at Volvospeed, but ran into a problem with the front frame bolt. I found it very difficult to remove that bolt because of clearances. In fact, the only way I was able to remove/replace it was with a 17mm box wrench, accessing from the engine side by removing the oil filter so there was room to move the wrench. My standard 17mm socket (3/8 drive with 3/8-1/2 adapter and 1/2 drive breaker bar, would not allow access with enough room to turn. My deep 17mm socket was too deep. I looked for an intermediate socket at my local Sears store, but they don't stock them, only special order.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who found they had the right tool or combination of tools to get at this bolt. I was able to replace the mount and torque the rear frame bolt as well as the two engine bolts, but the front one is on only as tight as I could get it with a box wrench. I'm sure I'll have to do the one on my '95 soon, so any sage advise is welcomed.

Thanks in advance.
