It is held in place by an omega shaped spring, this one: http://volvoklassiekeronderdelen.nl/...19&language=en

There is a special tool, but usually you can remove the spring with a hooked steel wire.

The base of gas pedal is rubber, pressed onto two steel "hinges", swivel points. Pull towards you and it will pop off. Maybe add a drop of oil before.

Thank's for help. Ther's nothing here in this part of Portugal. BTW looking at floor felt renewal. any good ideas? I have a couple of rolls of rockwool insulation in garage and was wondering if that might be a good alternative as it won't absorb moisture. Also looked for round pancake chrome airfilters for SU carbs but couldn't find anything.
I SHALL RETURN.

Hi, trying to lift out rear seat cushion and nearly got a hernia. Are they screwed down or just a very tight fit?

They are sprung into position. You need the front seat out (ideally!!!) however if not push the front seat forward as far as it will go, get into the back of the car and, facing the rear, push on the base of the front of the rear seat squab, backwards (towards the boot) and upwards; if you can picture it, it is a bit like the action needed to open a safety-pin, only there are two catches, one either side.

Re-reading this I realise it ain't too clear, but I hope it helps anyway!

Good luck, C.A.

Yes, clear enough.

Well, work is coming on a pace. Got footwells cleaned up and corrosion exposed,the rot in the footwell seems to be over the cross member. just need to wait for welder to find time to cut out rot and fix in new panels. All trim removed. How to remove headlamp unit. Do I undo the three nuts or remove the knurled adjusters and screw them out?
