I've done this on a 1998 S70 and a 2001 V70 T5a. Both were different, but the concept and the attach point mechanism is the same. There will be a petal type fixture that stays attached to the car, and the air filter fits over this. As it is pushed on these tabs compress and re-expand once through the hole. To remove, you need to re-compress the tabs. On my 98 S70, I had to do this to each tab leaf with a screw driver while keeping an upward pressure on the air box. On my V70, I found a small 16 point socket that I put on an extension, then puched down on the pedals (to compress them), and pulled the box up at the same time. Hope this gets the concept across.
