Remove the plastic skid plate under the engine. This allows bottom access to the alternator. Disconnect the battery (negative) ground wire. Note ( draw a picture ) where the wires connect to the alternator. Remove wires from alternator. Loosen top adjuster, and back off to loosen the fan belts. Loosen the bottom ( long) pivot bolt. Remove the v belts from alternator pulley. Remove the short bolt that goes through the top of the alternator. Remove the bottom ( long ) pivot bolt. remove alternator from the vehicle.

pretty much all volvo 240, 740, 940 bosch alternators have the same 3 wires. big massive red wire from the B+ terminal on the alternator that goes to the power terminal on the starter (and on to the + of the battery). skinny red wire that goes to the D+ terminal, this provides the 'kickstart' current via the BATT (ALT) light on the dashboard, and a ground wire.
