i'd bleed the whole car. volvo says change the brake fluid every 2 years, which lotsa people ignore. might've saved you a caliper purchase.

volvo started this in about 85, i think. been too long. i was in parts and we stocked approx 30 1330800 brake masters for the late 240s. service dept. started doing this to ALL volvos that came in for service. after about a year or so, we were stocking less than 10 due to lack of sales.

as far as 1 caliper, i would still do the whole car as it could've gotten air in the abs. as a pro, i would not let the car leave as the extra effort and brake fluid is not much more. good luck, chuck.
