The freeze plugs are the cup style - see pic here

They are hammered in there pretty good, and also held with JB-Weld. I don't think they're coming out.

To quote form the vendor's site:

"Freeze Plug
45mm
Our current supplier has switched to "cup"-type expansion plugs for this number rather than the "dished"-type plugs that Volvo uses at the factory. Our supplier claims more secure plug retention and fewer leaks with the "cup" style expansion plug. -rbh 8/98 "
