Except W123 Benz

[@someguyinohio7297]

Thanks so much! This answered a few questions about the rotor removal. Appreciate the effort it takes to post a quality video.

[@fcpeuro]

You'll want to use synthetic brake grease for the sliding bolts.

[@hughthemusicalengineer4365]

Great video. Lets you see all the parts and where they go. Thanks.

[@NolifeSosun]

Thanks for this video guys. Have to do my wifes brakes so this helped a ton.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

FCP Euro Greate repair videos for my Volvo 940 2.3 turbo 1995 mod !! thanx

[@thatoldschoolvolvoguy5012]

wow those rotors you took off look way better then the ones on my 940

[@v8pilot]

9:35 Grease between the pad and the shim will ensure no brake squealing. That's why others do it. Regards.

[@Rickster621]

So satisfying

[@michaelchitwood6226]

Great video. Thank you. I have a 1987 760 turbo.

[@Walczyk]

Volvo says you must replace those M10 bolts as they are torque-to-yield. Volvo front pads always come with new bolts.

[@mrtom6316]

Glad you caught this. These guys missed several other items as well. Example, Torque all the hardware.

[@RVRVRVRVR]

Im in Nova Scotia and I can also confirm that rust is a big ass problem

[@markferraro5250]

Great video man thanks

[@MosOneK]

thanx for the video lost they 10 hex caliper mounting bolt rather then buy a hole kit tracked down the bolt

[@fcpeuro]

You're welcome!

[@ajovialyoutubecommenter8691]

Are you supposed to use a specific grease for the sliding bolts, or will caliper grease be fine?

[@hughjazzole2037]

Do the caliber retaing bolts get lube??

[@nicolawhite129]

Hi, I have a 1988 740 GLE. I'm not sure if I need the 10.25" or 11.25" front rotors. How can I tell?

[@fcpeuro]

Nicola White The easiest way is just to measure through your wheel, a full inch difference is generally pretty easy to see. Hope that helps.

[@nicolawhite129]

FCP Euro thanks that makes sense. I did so and got my answer. 10.25 it is!

[@johndifelice7471]

What about the brake fluid? If you remove the line from the caliper, doesn't the fluid leak out? Was the fluid removed first somehow?

[@fcpeuro]

Hello John, brake fluid will leak out once the brake line is removed. It looks like the fluid was drained out during the install.

[@alistairgeorge3976]

I can't get the metal clip things on the pads to line up with the holes on the calipers, could you think of any reason why that would be?

[@jasonvangorden1265]

You shouldn't have any issues with them, I would double check that they are aligned correctly.

[@alistairgeorge3976]

+Jason Van Gorden I did just that, I had to bend the spring things a little to get them to fit but all is good now

[@ПетяПетров-ч1з]

How many parts cost?

[@holidayhouse03]

"Get the kid & DIY"....do I do it myself or will the kid do it? But nice informative video...thanks for that.

[@WilliamLaakkonen]

Nicely done- not to be a stickler but there is no way to inspect those rubber brake lines when they have stainless wire over them- the stainless just stops them from bulging too much when the rubber is bad. Technically, Federal law in the US says the rubber lines must have correct markings and NOT be covered or obscured so this style line is not legal to use on any US motor vehicle. Also, because the line can NOT be inspected- it would be prudent to replace it with a DOT approved (legal) style. I've had way to many stainless clad lines leak and blow... and in this application it can be a big problem-- worse, if you have an accident and the insurance company faults your illegal equipment for it- and they will try to do so.

[@Viper87th]

so dont BE a stickler!!! thats what you are lol,,, they know what they do...

[@ivar4355]

"The front breaks are most likely to fail first on any car" well... My front breaks are made by gods and my rear breakes fuck up all the time, although im now doing some front maintenance

[@jjmac3561]

Should have used a torque wrench.

[@arvadacounselingcenterinc.7284]

Very true!
