Brake Calipers 240-260 83

ICQ>

When I started to replace the pads on my 83 240 I found out what the

really bad scraping noise was.. the outer pad on the right front Caliper

was down past the metal....and When I tried to put in new pads

my fears were confirmed,,, a Frozen piston on the caliper.

Well I have found a new rebuilt caliper for a reasonable price

the big question is do I need to replace the caliper bolts

when I change the caliper???? If I remember right the Bently

Manual said to replace them as they are only supposed to be

used once, The Dealership said I don't need them. Which would be right??

I'm not getting a Volvo Caliper for my work car because I figure I can

replace the caliper 2 and 1/2 times before I would equal one caliper from

Volvo and I really don't figure this car has more than 30-40,000 miles

left in the Body due to MN winters

Thanks in Advance for any help you can give me.

Mark Erickson,

83 240 DL 175,000
