I agree - It's best to do it yourself 850

Just did the front brakes on my 93 850 yesterday. Have done lots of 140s, 240s and 740s. These were easier than all the above. Bought Zimmerman rotors front rotors for 45 each and rear rotors for 37 each - PBR pads 29 front - 17 rear. Had the 7mm hex socket and a small brake pressure bleeder pump. With abs you should bleed it while you compress the pistion. Bought the $7.00 IPD piston push tool and it was great too! Took me about 2 hours. But now that I have done one, could do it in less time. I saved enough money to have my timing belt done by a garage!!

Am doing the rears later this week. Never thought I would like the front wheel drive but now I have a 95 and 93!! looking for a 93-96 850 wagon to replace the 740 wagon!
