Disconnect the ground cable from your battery, remove the bolts holding the old one on and then take the wires loose and put the new one in.
Begin by removing the positive cable from your 1990 Volvo 240 battery. Remove the cables from the front of the starter motor. Remove the starter motor retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install your new starter motor.
First remove the battery from the vehicle. then remove the two 10mm bolts on the top side of the battery tray and the one on the bottom side and remove it. remove the positive wires from the starter. the nut is a 12mm. there are two 12mm bolts that hold the starter bracket to the top of the transmission. remove them. if it is a manual trnsmission, remove the two 12mm nuts hold the clutch cable in place. this is so the bracket on the starter will clear the cable with ease. then remove the two 14mm bolts holding the starter in place.

And instructions thanks to Autozone.com: Disconnect the negative, then the positive battery cables from the battery. For 1990-94 vehicles, remove the battery and battery tray from the engine compartment. For 1990-94 vehicles, detach the speedometer cable connector from the transaxle. Detach the starter motor electrical connections. Unfasten the starter motor mounting bolts, then remove the starter from the vehicle. Clean both surfaces of starter motor flange and rear plate. Install the starter motor onto the engine and secure with the retainer bolts. Tighten the retainers to the specifications shown in the accompanying figure. Attach the electrical harness connector(s) to the starter. If removed, install the intake manifold stay and tighten the retainers to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm). For 1990-94 vehicles, attach the speedometer cable to the transaxle. Install the battery tray and battery. Connect the positive, then the negative battery cables. Operate the starter to assure proper operation.
First, the battery needs to be disconnected...Safety first. Second, remove the electrical connector from the side of the starter. Third, remove the nut holding the ground wire (below connector). Fourth, remove the two bolts that hold the starter. Pull the starter away from the engine block. You may need to twist and turn it a little to get it around some of the wires and hoses. Install in reverse order.
