What model?

S70 is two big bolts and then 4 rivets on each of the forward most wheel
arches. It then slides off.

Cheers

I've seen it done once, watched a friend of mine do this with his 245:

1. Park with the front-right side of the car 4 inches away from a lamp
post, even with the centre of the front wheel
2. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left
3. Put the car in reverse and stomp on the gas

Makes a heck of a nasty sound but it works like a dream. Getting it
back on is the expensive part.
