In principle, yes, but you may find the old nuts have seized, in which case it would be easiest to grind them off and fit new. When I did mine, one came apart without a problem, but the other was so tight that the bolt ended up shearing off!

Best of luck with the new job.

Spent just over an hour fitting them. Wasn't a difficult job as the bolts came undone nicely with a 17mm socket set and a 17mm ring spanner on the drivers side which was more rusty. The new nuts that I ordered from volvo were 15mm. Looks much better as I also painted the wishbones and roll bar and ball joint metal to help stop slight rusting. The passenger front wishbone bush looks a bit perished. How do you support and change that?
Just tyres, tracking and balancing left.
