New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1APB...
This video shows you how to install front brake pads and rotors on your 2001-2007 Volvo V70 XC. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2001 Volvo V70
2002 Volvo V70
2003 Volvo V70
2004 Volvo V70
2005 Volvo V70
2006 Volvo V70
2007 Volvo V70

One of the better videos I’ve seen that is detailed in the steps and also hits on all the little parts of the brake job. Nice video and nice work!

You do a fine job on your videos. One important correction I have for you though. At 15:01 you show torqueing the axel bolt to 26 foot pounds. This is way to loose. The correct spec is 26 foot pounds PLUS 90 DEGREES motion on the wrench. The plus 90 degrees will be much tighter than 26 foot pounds.

You just convinced me to do my own brakes on my 2005 V70. I have been told by my Volvo guy that I MUST bring it in for brakes. Apparently this is the same as any other car Ive done brakes on, except for the rubber boots and that spring.

Nice detailed video but I noticed that you didn't use any lubrication on the edges or contact of the pads. Why was that?

[@koldonibane]

Can I remove the bracket with the caliper still attached to it or should I first remove the caliper then the bracket? Asking because I already replaced my pads and wondering if I can remove the whole assembly in one go, then replace the rotors. Thanks 👍

[@sensitivehedonist]

Absolutely awesome :) Thanks!

Just loosen the lid on the break reserve and you avoid the mess of break fluid when pushing the piston in. And it depends on the rotor manufacturing to which way the slots go, some have them eating the wind, some have the flowing with the wind. Most are labled.

Always try to use silicone spray on electrical connectors
