Wow - ask for a guru on this board, and you get one! 200

Excellent information in the other posts.

Some trivia to add - If the pressure bleeder comes with two cap gaskets for the round cap, you may need to use BOTH of them. The cap was deeper than the reservoir threads on my '91, so the cap hit the top of my reservoir before sealing. I had a pint of brake fluid on my garage floor before I realized what was going on.

If you have air in the pressure limiting switch, aggressive use of a pressure bleeder is your only hope, and it may take several attempts to get it all out.

I don't know if this is the case for Volvos, but I have heard that on some cars, once the brake failure light comes on, you have to manually re-center, or replace, the pressure differential switch to get the light to turn off.
