Volvo: 1992 740 Starter Removal, negative battery cable, support brackets


Question
I need to replace the starter on my 740 wagon.  I disconnected the negative battery cable, the connectors to the solenoid, and have removed the two bolts that go through the support brackets of the dip stick line.  Are there any more bolts that need to be removed?  I am not able to get the starter to move at all and I am afraid to use too much force for fear I might damage something else.

Answer
Mark,
There are only the two long bolts that go throught the starter that hold it. Once those have been removed the starter should come out. So as long as you are going to replace the starter do your best to pry it out and clean up any debris that is blocking up the area.
