Replacing front brakes on my 2009 Volvo XC70 T6.
77,000Km or 48,000 Miles.
As well as painting calipers and the suspension.

Great video! This job is on my list after I change the the rear shocks.
Are you positive that it is 200NM of torque for the caliper bolts? That’s a lot!
Top VolvoMan!!
Not sure if you got the answer to the question of the inner pad wearing faster. Its "normal" for free floating brake systems, exessive wear though can mean the guidepins need lubricating or the piston is stuck. There is some good info on it at safebraking.com, including how to fix it.
So, as the caliper has only one piston, the whole caliper slides on those slider pins. You need to lubricate them to ensure that the caliper can slide freely. The inner pad is the one the piston pushes. Outer one relies on the slider pins to allow the caliper slide freely. After a while, the slider pins get jammed up and the caliper can't slide freely anymore. Then, when you brake lightly, the inner pad makes greater contact to the disc and that's why the inner pads wear more quickly than the outer ones.
Great video, very detailed. What is the torque spec for caliper bracket bolts? Surely is not 200NM and even heavier than the wheel nut.
Working on older cars, I've always used Copper grease between the hub and rotor and between pad and caliper. I wonder how different they work over time and more extreme winter conditions.
Excellent tutorial on front brake pads and rotor replacement. You make getting that valiper sprng back in place look easy, but I know it is not easy.
Yes another great video from this man, I have just renewed my front Discs and pads using Pagid which are German quality,and done various other mods to the car also, very helpful information from his videos, Thank you keep them coming!
so did you find out the reason why one break pad wars faster than the other 12:00 ?
It is Always waring out more on the piston side just because the piston is pressning independently wich not is happening on the other side because that force is Taking up much more of friktion Before the pressure from the piston hits that brake pad
I bought accidentally 316 mm discs to 300mm brackets to 09' D5 S80. Can someone explain, what are my options? Is there any easy way to upgrade brakes to the 316mm?
Great job. Just one addition – in these brake systems, do not lubricate the caliper guides!
Does it matter which rotor goes where? looks like the rotor blades should face the other way when spinning to grab more air into them.
Wow..nice and clean job!
You did a great job. Very helpful video thanks
The inner pad wears faster because it is pressed onto the disc directly by the piston, the outside pad only applies a much lighter pressure to the disc because it is only pulled on by the mechanical slide of the calliper on those slide pins. So the inner pad does the bulk of the braking effort. Great video btw.
Why didn't you replace it for ATE PowerDisc and ATE ceramic brake pads? Ceramic pads keeps your rims clean and last longer than usual brake pads.
Thansk for sharing this video I love it. 9:45 what type of bolts is this and what is the size mm / lenght?
Thanks to you I bought an XC70 (:
And I Love it.
I have a socket on the driver side front bumper and I just saw in your video that you also have it on your Volvo. What is it for?
loocks grate.
Bardzo porządna robota.
