Removing and putting the valve cover back is a royal pain because that cover, which is glued on, also holds the cams in place. You will either buy a special Volvo 'tool' or make your own hold down straps with angle iron and welding rods.

The Haynes 850 manual does a very good job explaining the procedure, same engine and engineering. A couple of pictures worth a 1000 words and some confusion thrown in just to separate the novice from real mechanics.

This is not an easy job! But it is do able if you take your time. Remember, from 1999 on, the rear cam is 'variable' and tension must be released by turning the crank past TDC about 90 degrees and then back to TDC. BTW, the timing belt comes off.
