It is on the lower left side of the motor. It is black and in the shape of a large beer can. Step by step Volvo starter removal 1.) Disconnect the car battery completely 2.) Get the front tires up on stands so you can crawl underneath. 3.) Locate the starter (Lower left side of engine) 4.) Disconnect Power and ground cables from starter 5.) Make sure you have a ½ drive ratchet set (two ten inch extension are necessary [especially with the 240 models). 6.) Next you need to remove the two bolt which face the rear of the car out of the starter a. Accessing the bolts may be difficult as the transmission may impede direct access. b. Hook your ½ breaking bar to both your 10" extensions (20" in total) c. Remove the cross brace that holds the transmission, allowing the transmission to drop a few inches (hold transmission from falling too far with a few blocks of wood) d. Now you will have better access to remove bolts. Install starterà hook up boltsàhook up starter power and ground wiresà hook up battery (assure it is a charged battery) à Job Done!
