Take a Sawzall and go to town.

Be sure to use duck tape to reassemble subframe, or drill holes and use zip ties!

I went back to the JY to pull the S40 body. Once the pan was pulled the body had no stamp and no vent. Discouraged I looked around and found a fresh 04 S60 which is pictured. The body was exactly what I was looking for. I want to clean it up and test the small solenoids then I make the swap and install the new linear solenoids and pray.
