It’s stuck by rust. Force a piece of wood between the caliper bracket and the rear face of the rotor (it doesn’t matter if it pushes into the protecting metal sheet). Punch in the piece of wood with a hammer, the rotor will pry out right off. You might also spray wrench oil in the wheel lug holes just where you see the gap between the wheel hub and the rotor. It also helps to remove the corrosion between the wheel hub and the center of the rotor.
thx man, you are the best
my old man followed your video and changed out the breaks and rotors on my 2000 Volvo S80 in less than 2 hours and they work great.Thanks, you saved us a lot of money
Hi would this be the same for a 06 volvo xc90 rear breaks? I saw guy bleeding the breaks i rather not do that myself. Every break job i compressed the piston using a c clamp.
Dr Jay, excellent video but please use and advise people to use vinyl gloves.
I’m actually having a bit of trouble understanding exactly what’s happened. To avoid giving you any wrong information would you be able to give our team a call at 1-877-634-0063, our technical guys can certainly help you out.
Actually the shoes were pretty beat up and a 1″ size aluminum block shear off the side of the where the shoes are. Do you know if I need to change entire spindle or just the plate because that 1″ block size looks pretty serious do I even need that?? Does anyone have diagram of shoe brake assembly??
It could be that your parking brake has locked up inside the drum of the rotor. As long as you’re certain there is no set screw in the face of your rotor; you can use a puller to remove it from the hub.
I removed everything but rotor and I cant find nut or screw on rotor to remove to pop off rotor so something is different I have 2004 S60 should be the same or maybe it doesnt have screw or do i need to remove hub screw in the center and use a puller to pull rotor out???? anyone please help
well I thought the bolt was 7mm just found out it allen key type which I dont have so I am geading to store and yes I will check other components here some scraping when I turn the rotor. ty
If that’s all that was damaged then you can just change that part. But you’ll want to check the other components as well. Check the description of this video for a link to the parts you’re looking for.
thanks i will do this now , can I just change the one cable that leads to the wheel ? and do you guys sell that cable? my car is 2004 S60 AWD
I’ve seen rear drum brakes seize after failing, it’s a simple to just remove the rear wheel and brake to see what the situation is. Though it is possible to drive with it in it’s condition I’m afraid I can’t recommend it.
can I drive with pop cable or can I tell if cable snapped from under the car??
Thanks again for getting back, quick question if e-brake cable snapped would it be by the rears brakes because i check at the handle connection and cable where it forks off looks good except its loose so I am thinking at the brakes unless there’s a access cover from under the car. Also does the rear e-brakes engaged when cable snaps? Because getting some vibration like as if they are engaging etc.
Sounds like your e-brake cable might have snapped. Sorry no videos on it yet, but check out some forums, maybe Matthew’s Volvo Site for some details on the repair. Hope that helps at least a little.
Jay this was a great vid, unfortunately my problem just happen yesterday. I pulled up on my emergency brake handle and I heard something pop then I notice rear brakes engaging alittle. now the handle is really loose. What would typically cause this and how can I fix it?Thanks so much!
They’re simple to replace, but ours were in good condition. I’ve heard arguments for and against micro-fractures. It always seems to come back to how people learned how to do it. Whether re-using them or replacing them. Hope that helps.
The Haynes manual states to not reuse the caliper carrier bolts. Can you give your opinion on this? Thank you for an excellent video.
I notice there is no reference to torque settings here.
Also, I was under the impression that the carrier bolts were not supposed to be re-used due to risk of metal fatigue after initial stress and release cycle.
I would like to know the same. My V70 is 2003 D5 and had problems getting the disk off and putting the new one on.But thanks for the video , most informative 😉
What year and sub-model?
Where is the e-brake ajustment on the v70?
Actually, due to liability reasons, we can’t tell you how to jack up the car. Take a look at your owners manual and it will show you the jack and jack stand points that are safe for your car.
Take a look at our Volvo 850 rear brake video, it’s a different brake style than this one. Hope that helps.
Is this for S70 as well? Doesn’t say S70.
Excellent video by the way. I think I can do this!
FIRST STEP — bear in mind, I’m a dummy. WHERE do you jack the car up? For left and right rear?
It really depends how often you use it, It’s best to just take a look and see the condition they’re in. Hope that helps.
how often on that parking brake?
You are a Master, Thank you for all.
hello great video, does this work for a 2010 s80? if not, is it possible for you to post up one soon? thanks!
Gordon302 as “Master” Technician you should know that most individuals don’t have the specialty tools that you do.. You sound like an ass. As a mechanic myself I haven’t thought to use channel locks but instead I use an adjustable clamp. I also use a flat blade screwdriver as a scraper on occasion. I also use it to pick my nose and scratch my ass, quiet the multi-purpose tool if you ask me..
Good video man, very helpful. Keep it up!!
@Gordon302 We like to use tools that an average DIY mechanic might have access to, we’re working to reach people to get the most out of what they already have. And I’m afrai I don’t understand your point about the bleeder valve, unscrewing that alone won’t compress the piston. Channel locks or a caliper tool are the standard way for retracting the piston.
Dr. Jay, as a master technician, can I ask why you’re using a screwdriver as a scraper? Also, I don’t like the idea of using channel locks to compress the piston. You could just as easily unscrew the brake bleeder valve, located on the brake carrier.
Great video chaps,and nicely detailed.It gave me confidence to do my own today.Just one thing though for anyone doing this for the first time,you’ll need to slacken the handbrake cable.To do this,pull the handbrake cover back and lift up the plastic cover and you’ll see the nut.Obviously,this only apply’s if the handbrake shoe’s are inbound.
