caliper bolts needed 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be brakes on  Fri Jun 7 04:10 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I would second the motion for sticking with OEM pads after having problems with PBR and Mintex. If pull the rotors, you need to remove the caliper bracket and the books say to replace the caliper bracket bolts each time. If you buy the rotors from the dealer, you get the bolts. However I have bought Brembo rotors online several times and did not receive bolts. Volvoparts.com doesn't even list rear rotors. I have been unable to find someone that sells the bolts separately. Bottom line: you may want to buy rotors from dealer who provides bolts with the rotors.

BTW, the brake job with the 850 is as easy as it is with the 240, perhaps easier.
