If you can find someone to lend you the special tool from Volvo I'm sure you'll have a better time getting them out. The guys who did mine (the hinge pins were still available as of last Autumn) couldn't get them out either - until they borrowed one from a Volvo garage.

There have been some excellent posts on this topic before, try this one:
