Hi All!

The brakes on my 1998 V70 2WD are at the point they need to be replaced; pads and rotors on all four corners. I'm having trouble finding the servicing instructions. I've done brake jobs before but never on a Volvo so want to ask the right questions BEFORE I take it all apart.

Has anyone done this job and can give me the good, bad, and ugly on the procedure? Is there anything unique to Volvo I have to worry about? Any tricks to getting the old rotors off or adjusting the parking brake? Any special tools required?

Also, are there any published guides on the 'net on this? Can anyone direct me to the right URL?

TIA for the replies.

Daryl
