inqstprt,

You really need to get the Haynes Manual for the 70 series. It costs about $25.00US and is available from IPD, the Haynes website and probably at your local Barnes & Noble.

You only need a 9mm socket to remove the bolts under the access panel below the armrest. No other tools are needed unless there are either bolts or torx screws visible in the front through the coinholder opening. Remove the coinholder by pulling up from the back. It will easily release and lift out.

Pull back and up on the console after you have removed the bolts, disconnected the harnesses and released the front edges. If it does not move, then you probably have two fasteners in front under the coinholder/tray combo.

My car was built in January of 1997 in Sweden and uses the tab-in-slot design to secure the console in front. There are no screws. YMMV.

Don't force ANY plastic parts. Volvo's plastic formula seems to produce particularly fragile components.
