2.4 Rear Brake Rotor Removal - 15 inch wheels V70-XC70 2003

posted by  someone claiming to be ksg on  Sat Jul 14 17:31 CST 2007 [RELATED]

You can tell if there is a star adjuster because if there is one, there will be a hole of about 1/2 inch diameter in the rotor among the wheel studs. If you have this hole get a bright flashlight and look for the star wheel by rotating the brake rotor and hub. On my car the hole was near but not at 12 O'clock when the wheel could be seen. You can inch the wheel along with a screwdriver having a flat 1/4 inch blade, inserted thru the hole. Do this with the rotor in place. I think you will need to push upward, pull out the screwdriver, and push upward again a couple of times. If you are going the wrong way the rotor will become tight as if the parking brake was set. Try to remember roughly how far you turned the star wheel. If you can get back to the same point then you won't have to mess with the parking brake cables (assuming they are adjusted ok) or do anything else to get the parking brake to work at the end of the job.
