Well I am still waiting for parts but I have the plan for the repair. I am going to use my buddy's drive on hoist and drop the gas tank. I talked to a Volvo tech the other day and he assured me that this is essential to avoid damaging the new cable. I believe someone mentioned this in a previous post so looks like we have a plan. The two short cables at the axle are a piece of cake, took about an hour and a half for each side including replacement of the shoes and pads as well as a brake bleed. Cannot see how the dealers justify the hours they charge when they have all the good stuff and experience.
