BRAKE JOB COMPLETE...YES! V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be kip on  Sun Oct 26 16:42 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Just finished replacing rotors and pads on the T5 with the help of my brother in-law. Followed the directions on Bay 13, and it was so easy. Ordered all the parts, including the 7mm allen socket, from IPD. So far everything seems right which isn't too shabby (I am not a great mechanic by any means). The pads had 60K and still looked about 50%, the front rotors however were quite worn and were shaking while braking at highway speeds. So far have 120K on the car and have now gone through two sets of brakes, is this typical of most you?

Anyway, just wanted to pass on to those folks who may shy away from doing their own brakes, IT WAS SIMPLE.
