The compressor I used was the j hook type from ipd. I used a pick and pen magnet to get the shims out. The ipd rental for the shims and compressor is the best bet unless you have a volvo dealer down the street and don't mind making a jillion trips for the right shim. I found differences in the same size shims that cam with the ipd kit.
