Whoah, jacking up the engine using the oil pan? I'd have *never* considered that. Especially seeing one of those pans with a hole punched in it.

Having the transmission out of the way would have made life significantly easier. I'm a bit uneasy reusing all the DS bolts and half the PS bolts.

I totally agree with your assessment on this part. I'm wonder what the heck Volvo was thinking on this design - access is a nightmare and the control and ball-joint are a single piece? $150.00 a pop on a critical wear part. Dang.
