Need to replace my brakes 850 1996

hi Flying Dutchman.
Jot said 7mm socket, It is 7mm male drive,the opposite of a socket.
vovospeed.com is the place to go for knowledge on brake jobs and stuff. Look in the maitenance section. I just did all four of my brakes and used the site for reference. There is an opinion on having the rotors turned or not and installing new ones, mine had plenty of material thickness left, so I had them machined (turned) as I have on my other 850, and other makes of cars before. A strong word of advice, use the anti-squeal lube from volvo, and do this job once and you won't have to go back in 2 weeks and put the lube on then because the brakes are squealling like dying cats!
