So, months later, I called a dealer with my VIN. Got Volvo part numbers, and size designation. Called NAPA, found out Volvo was cheaper. Called IPD. Got Volvo rotors and pads for less than the same rotors would have cost me at the dealer (then I would still have to buy pads). Free shipping. Great!

So this morning I went out to do the job. Got the machine screws out that retain the rotors, but could not budge the rotors. Never ran into that before. A firm application of a hammer will (used to) break them loose. No longer. Beat, pried, mumbled sprayed with PBlaster, had more coffee and beat some more. Perhaps I should have cursed, but for some reason I didn't.

Any ideas? Application of acetylene might help. Should I worry about cooking the bearings? Please help, the Life Partner has gone into wife.mil mode.
