For the e-brake, you mean shoes, don't you? The pads and rotors are part of the hydraulic brake system (foot-operated). The mechanically-activated hand brake involves replacing the shoes inside the rear compound rotor-and-drum system. While you're back there, you might as well replace the pads....if not the drum/rotor combination, too.

It's a pretty easy job. For illustrated SCV70/850 how-to, go to http://volvospeed.com/850rbrake1.htm
