Hey heat,
Size of flare nut on bottom? I've read elsewhere 14mm, but either my 14mm open end spanner was too small, or ... ???
I had a 19mm ready to go, but in the end didn't need it. The 17mm top banjo bolt came off with just a little extra muscle.
The crush washers come with the filter (ie I bought mine from toyota and it came with 2 - both needed - dunno about after market filters).
I read elsewhere that I may have been being stupid, and the bottom nut is 'upside down' therefore needs to be turned "the other way". Might look into this with the corolla i've also got to do.
LOL re the 27mm open ended spanner!! Dunno if you'll get this (volvo's have a reputation in australia) but did you have to have a hat on when changing the filter in the volvo?
good luck - post back with how you go.
