Tune up going sideways. 1988 240 sedan

So, I began doing a tune up. Things were going smoothly until I came to the distributor cap and rotor. The cap is fine, however I can't get the rotor out. I didn't exactly want to brute force it off. Without consulting people who have done this more then I. This is my first Volvo. My first time doing a tune up of any kind solo. So any and all suggestions are appreciated. Thank you all and have a great day.

So Hood latch question.

So apparently my rod is bent. Is there anyway to replace it. Or am I looking at buying a whole new part. The latch still functions like it should. I will take any or all thoughts and advice, thank you all very much.

A stuck hood on my 1988 Volvo 240

So I have a stuck hood on my 1988 volvo 240, the hood relase cable needs replaced. So pulling from inside the car isn't an option. The top hood lock releases fine. however the the bolt and spring next it.The gromet shifted. Allowing it to go further down in the bottom latch then it should. I am stumped how to get it loose. I can get access to it from behind the grill. Just unsure of how to free it up. Any help would be welcomed. Kind of flying blind. First Volvo an not mechanical inclined. I bought the car to learn and grow my knowledge. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Collection Ideas.

I am looking to get back into collecting. I used to collect vintage transformers. However been out of it for a number of years. I would like the collection to be something from 1983 to 1995. I am not looking at something like the Playmate Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line. Due to space limitations that line is way to big. I miss the hunt and the joy that goes with it. So open to suggestions.

I have spent my entire life in a state of existence I find unbearable. I have found myself as I have throughout my life as the keeper of everyones secret. The perpetual listener. I am there for anyone. I am sweet, respectful, and dare I say charming. Yet when they see me. I am completely and utterly blown off. I get I am not pretty. I get I don't have the ideal body. I am good enough to keep their emotional pains. To help put them together after others break them. Their complete and total emotional landfill. Yet no one responds in kind to me. I am in this never ending cycle. Of being there for everyone in the shadows but denied in the light. The worst part, is I feel guilty for being angry at this. For not wanting to help them. Its makes me feel as hideous emotionally. As I know I am in the physical. Alas I feel like it will never end. Thank you for listening.

So, I hope this post finds people well and in good spirits. I recently have come to then conclusion I need people in my life. I have spent the bulk of my years being that guy who is only important when needed. The one that people call for a purpose and then quickly discard. I haven't ever been anyone's favorite. I was means to an end. I am looking for a person to get to know and in turn be known. I am tired on not being able to shine in my own way. Feel free to reach out all are welcome.
