Replace front Brake pads on V70 XC V70-XC70

I have always opened the brake master cylinder prior to using a "C clamp" to compress the piston. Leave the old pad in place, on the piston side to rest the C clamp on. Also pay attention to the fluid level in the master cylinder, so it doesn’t over-flow as you compress the piston. I use a "clean" shop rag to extract some fluid, by dipping it in the reservoir.
