I just completed replacement of pads and rotors at all four corners of my 2017 V60 T5 (with solid rear disks), and in case anyone else runs into this: the rear pistons must be wound back into the calipers. They do not simply push in. They are a clockwise rotation. Other than that, this video was really helpful, like the other FCP Euro how-to tutorials. Thanks for producing these - I've used several of them, and in particular the inclusion of all the torque specs etc is invaluable (and I like the lack of "fluff" - right to the point and no messing around).
@griswald322 Жыл бұрын
With the electronic parking brake once you have the caliper off put a small block of wood in the gap where the pads would go and then unplug the electrical connection from the motor. You will see two pins inside and you just put a 12v supply across and you can wind the motor back. The block of wood is to stop the piston coming out if the motor is winding out. If it is winding out just swap the wires over and it will go the other way. Do not forget to put the connector back on the motor.

Found this video today when I had to do the rear brakes on an XC60 and my diag software didn't have the EPB release function. This comment actually became a lifesaver for me because I did exactly as this comment says and was able to wind back the parkinng brake so i could wind the piston back all the way and fit new brakes. Thanks a mil it really works and its effortless.
@thejoyoffix47208 ай бұрын
Yoiu can unwind the EPB with a torx bit at the rear of the caliper. Remember to switch the EPB to "off" before this is possible.

A great help. Did the job (both rear breaks and callipers) in 2 hours, only 4 bolts and a torx50 screw needed to dismantle the lot. Re the electronic handbrake. 2 torx30 screws to separate the motor from the piston, torx40 to wind back the piston then easy to use a G cramp to collapse the piston. If you use the battery method you have to put pressure on the motor casing to collapse the piston. Also did the front pads and discs (just as straight forward), paid £255 for all 4 wheels, dealership wanted £1,100.

@@igoldin74 Check out this video, starting around 50 secs in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqqYZXeBh62fd9E . I know it looks like you're inserting these wires into a black hole, but there are contacts in there that you're hitting. You'll hear the motor turning, and may need to reverse polarity with the battery if it goes in the wrong direction. Use a fresh 9V, I think I basically drained a whole one between both sides of the car.

You don't need a computer or anything. You need a t30 to remove the park brake motor. It's 2 bolts. Underneath it has a splined shaft that inserts into a hole on the back of the caliper. Use a t40 to twist that and it backs right out easy. Then use the t50 to remove the rotor.

Today I tried to change the rear discs on my Volvo XC60 D3/D4 from 2012. The saddle with EPB motor was rather easy to release (and I used a 12V battery to return the pistons) but then when I tried to unbolt the two 15mm bolts (see 7:47) they unbolted in the beginning (not easy) but after a few normal turns they became so heavy to turn over that I thought they we're going to snap. So I decided to stop and put everything together again. Quite frustrating that I only could change the brake pads but not the discs... Has anyone advice about this? Is it normal that these 15mm bolts become very difficult to unbolt at the end??? It seems not logical and strange to me.

Why do all the brake repair videos here on YT never losen the bleeder screw to compress the piston back into the caliper. The fluid in the caliper can and often does turn acidic. The rear brakes aren't as critical as the fronts but still there is enough fluid in the piston that as it is compressed can make it into the ABS system. The front breaks can push fluid into and through the ABS system and into the master cylinder. Everyone always talks about replace everything as to be cheap insurance by not cutting corners so why push the old nasty fluid back into the most expensive part of the brake system. A bottle of new brake fluid is also cheap insurance.
