97 Volvo 850 Basic wagon PNP Switch
I’m repairing the PNP switch, and the only problem I’ve encountered in getting it off is that I can’t get it over the post connected to the transmission. Am I missing something? The PNP rotates slightly right and left but can’t get it over the post.

It's been so long since I took one off ... I don't remember!
Curious to hear the resolution though.

Pry it off with a flat screwdriver but gently.

Muck of Ages, spray with the magic fluid of your choice. Don't forget to block the wheels too, the car will try to roll once it's free.

I replaced mine earlier this year (in Jan 2023 on a '97 855) and the PNP switch just pulled up and off with a little lifting force. It looks like you've got all the nuts removed, so it should just pull up. If they will fit, you could try using two small nylon pry bars on each side and prying up. Good luck!
1997 855 GLT (Light Pressure Turbo) still going strong. Previous: 1986 240 GL rusted out in '06, 1985 Saab 900T rusted out in '95, 1975 Saab 99 rusted out in '95, 1973 Saab 99 rusted out in '94

I agree, it seems that you have all the appropriate bolts removed, it's now just a matter of freeing the PNP from the shaft. Liberal use of your favorite penetrating fluid, (I've had good results with PB Blaster,) let it sit for a while, and work it back and forth.
Good luck!

Screwdriver didn’t work. Rivet removal tool did the trick.
