elliot.. this is the biggest scam car in youtube.. since you bought it for that stupid scam price, you already wasted the money on it to buy a 'super car'... just sell it as is and go get a porsche or another z3 for the channel
How was that brake job a nightmare? Where was the seized caliper slider pins, the rusty caliper pistons, the snapped off bleed nipple that you had to drill out, the ABS pump so drained of fluid that normal bleeding wouldn't work or the usual (in Scotland) caliper bolts that are so rusty they looked like they'd been removed from the wreck of the Titanic on the ocean floor? You didn't even have to do the job lying outside in the snow! Mate, that job was a piece of cake.
Big shout out to brave little Charlotte, your fearless and adorable fellow test driver! Lol! This very well could be her first big “brake” in show business!😊👍🏼⭐️⭐️ And kudos to Uncle Glen, who totally rocks. Great video, Elliott. Love your energy, enthusiasm, knowledge and always wonderful sense of humor!
I bought an S60R 4 months ago and my story is pretty darn similar. Its been up on jacks being worked on longer than its been on the road. That said, when its on the road its incredible..... and then it breaks again
I guess that the presence of you delightful daughter makes Dad jokes inevitable, I hate jacking cars I've heard cracking bodywork too many times to feel happy, great video as always Elliot
@@ElliottAlvis Yes 👍 this is a reason I enjoy your videos it brings back times for me with my relationship with my Uncle I had a better relationship with my uncle than with my own father. We was best friends.
This will be a weird comment, but I had an aunt who had a V70 and eventually a XC70. I remember the smell of that car so vividly, and I feel like I can smell your car through the screen based soley on my memory of those seats and that dash.
Same. Old crayon smell. My first XC70 had it, my dads V50, my S40 T5, my S60R, and now my S70 T5. It’s also been present in my friends S60 and my parents friends XC90. Although another friend with an 850 didn’t have the smell… only time I haven’t smelled it in a Volvo.
I think you need to have some more coffee in the morning Elliott. You seem sluggish and not yourself. Oh yeah, that looks like a roofing nail....anyone recently redo their roof around your place? If so...they might owe you that tire fix. Congrats to Charlotte for keeping everyone calm and safe.
Nice! I put Brembos on my Daughter's V70 last year, best braking performance ever! It's not recommended but you should clean the rust off the wheel hub and apply a thin coat of anti-sieze between the rotor and hub. This will prevent future corrosion and make it easier to service the next time you have to remove the rotors.
I went into this video expecting to be fooled, since it is April 1st after all, but instead got to watch a bunch of jacking and braking! Although I suppose the Volvo not acting up for once is fools enough! Thanks for the video, Elliott! It was nice seeing a little bit of the Prius at the end!
Did you thoroughly clean the hub before mounting the new disc? I like to use a special abrasive bell-shaped, hub cleaner you can put on a power drill, can't beat how evenly it cleans the mating surface.
There are few things more satisfying than new pads and rotors. Also, great idea swapping them all at once. Turning rotors is a waste of time, and saving pads is as well. Just change it all out to new when they are worn, there is no up side to trying to salvage old parts like that.
This must be the easiest fix you have had so far on the 70R. I cant wait to see the finsihed product. I feel your pain as always but you sure have an awesome wagon. I look foward to future content.
Always love the Volvo content... what I dont like is that youtube didnt send me notifications on any of your videos for two months!!! well atleast I can binge on some spaceball vids now. Keep em coming! and paint the hood!
Just did breaks on my wrx performance pack (has sti brembos stock) one benefit of tracking your car is the break never get that crusty between pad and rotor changes. I love working on rear entry calipers but man if you strip that caliper.
As usual, I took a "break" from my work to watch this "brake" video. However, I had to "break" away from it until after work. This video was so full of puns and good advice such as: "Lube the backside;" "Spring time;" "It's a good start;" "There's lots of jacking on this video!" I think you have to do a family vacation video. You would be the perfect replacement for Clark Griswold! You could call it the "Motory Notary Family Vacation." You already have the wagon. Just stick some fake wood paneling on the sides and you're ready! Thanks for providing such excellent content! Keep it coming!!!
I was recently watching a Junkyard Digs video, and he brought to my attention something I had never thought of before. He was explaining that for the best results, you have to break in you're brake pads, I guess each manufacturer of brake pads puts the necessary, steps to break them in on the box, basically 3 hard stops from 20 mph, and then like 4 hard stops from 40 mph? I guess each has their own procedures but it's something to consider, I guess it maximizes material transfer between pads and rotor
Seeing you wrench with your uncle makes miss the uncle that got me in to cars Cancer took away the guy that gave me a hobby to kinda keep me out of trouble 😂
@@ElliottAlvis I'm shock you are still messing with this Volvo good luck with it. I bail on my Volvo when It came to computer stuff parted it out made more then what I got it for 😂
The part you forgot to install on the front is called a silencing shim. The backing plate is the rigid inboard sheet metal, roughly the same size as the rotor, there to keep debris off the inboard side of the rotor.
So glad to see the Volvo at the stage of stopping, rather than not going! Congrats! And your good luck charm, Charlotte, stole the show! 😁 Glad it was just the brake cleaner that didn't work this time😂
Pro-tips: You should always replace the spring clips when replacing pads on Brembos; It’s a good idea to clean up a rusty hub with a wire wheel and apply a thin layer of waterproof grease or anti-seize; always good to turn in the parking brake adjuster a few clicks before removing the rear rotor,then re-adjust after install
In my 8 years of owning my S60R I put 60k on and only only changes the brakes once and they still had lots of disc left. The collar sleeve is done well done. I feel your frustration on that.
Greetings Mr Motary Notary, it's awesome to have you back!!! The Volvo is coming along nicely, having brakes is kinda important if you plan on driving a car. I'm thinking that you've just experienced a big break!!! Charlotte is absolutely adorable!!! Thanks for sharing this fun video!!! 👍👍🙄
HEY! It's the best KStuber!!! Glad you're back and doing good brother. I just picked up a wagon myself, a dodge Magnum. I've owned a few volvos though and I know what you are going through. Both my 00 S80 and my 02 S60 had bunches of issues and xemodex helped me tremendously. Hope you and the family are doing well. Take care!
@@rsscott5672 you are correct if you take them out you need to replace them......the 04-06 had a habit of actually loosening they corrected this in 07 by using a rubber bushing behind the bolt. Maybe re torque was the wrong word....but just check to make sure they haven't loosened up.
Your blessed to have a uncle that is so willing to help you.😇. Now we just Gota get Uncle Glenn wearing a cat T shirt. Lol😂 Your daughter is a lil doll.
How many times have I put everything back together to find a bit I missed off…….many. New wheels and tyres going on my CL today, let’s see what I forget to put back? Great video.
Even without your kid there it was obious that you are a dad, with all those dadjokes lol. i have no clue at all about children but she seems extrmely articulate. also love your video's and that you're back again
Also man your lucky how easy the rear brake rotors came off! They often rust at the brake cable and also if the rotor is to worn inside from shoe wear the rotor can be a royal pain to remove. My v70R i banged on the back of the rotor for like an hour and it still didn't break free i said forget it lol still seized to this day but im about to weld a bracket to a bottle jack and come back with new rotors and shoes before i take it on the road manual swapped. hopefully it works
used retainer pins tend to depart on their own, I always get all new hardware. when a pin falls out the second pin rattles loose, then the pads depart and you lose all the brake fluid.
Good job, Elliott. Nice to see the Volvo getting attention. One note, though. That brake fluid was looking a bit off in the master cylinder. I'm guessing it is a while since it was flushed. Bad idea to leave it. The water absorbed by the fluid can rust out the ABS pump, accumulator, or actuator, none of which is cheap. Be prepared, it takes a bunch of fluid. On my 1990 240, with its 4 wheel Gerling discs, it takes 17 litres of fluid to do a full flush. Every 10 years or so I also do all 6 of the flex lines. Volvo brakes are something else. Gotta love 'em.
Brake parts? Check. Dad puns? Double check! One tip I'd give you is to put some anti-seize paste on the inside of the wheels where they make contact with the rotors. This will make it A LOT easier to get the wheels off later. Looking at the old rotors at the beginning, it looks like someone had done that previously. Enjoy the stopping power!
Awesome work, doing the brakes on my wife's w203 tomorrow, very similar caliper setup as it has the 'sport pack' AMG brakes, love that style of caliper. Also, your family seems lovely, all the best!
Good to see you back!! I don't think that is a job nightmare... Is better than the new cars that you have to do procedures to put the brake in service mode (that some times needs special computers to do it or a complicate procedure to do it..) Now the car don't have any issues? Are you planning to a respray of it? These v70r manual they are becoming unicorns... soo keep it!!!
17:02 I know that tread pattern very well; a Goodyear Viva 3! That tire got replaced around this time last year with the new Reliant All Season. If I remember correctly, the Viva 3 was a 60,000 mile tire, and the new Reliant All Season is a 65,000 mile tire. EDIT: using my training as a Walmart Auto Care Center technician, that roofing nail was what in what we call the “Goldilocks Zone”; had it been less then a thumbs width from the sidewalls, it would have been a new tire for you.
Sometimes all of a sudden the pins get stuck (happened to me) or the bolts get stripped and then im like oh boy maybe these aluminum Brembo calipers SHOULD HAVE HAD STEEL INSERTS FOR THE BOLTS!!!! Yea... R brakejob can sometimes go south quick!! thats the worst thing that happened to me
@@ElliottAlvis I had to buy a whole new rear caliper because the pins were stuck so bad, then I had to get a Helicoil insert into the stripped threads on the front caliper. That was insane. Never wanna take the calipers off ever again
Shoutout to Karl Brembo.
A big Hee Haw "Saaaaal-ooot!"
We Stan a legend!
trivia test: do you know why 90% of flats occur on back tires?
tick tick tick tick AND NO GOOGLING!!!
@@muskokamike127 front tires kick up sharp objects that are flat on the ground (not a risk to puncture) and the back tires catch them as they tumble?

Thanks mom! Charlotte takes after you with her on-camera skills.
Can’t wait to see it with the hood repainted!
Charlotte was the star of the show today! future breakout star in the works. wonderfully adorable.
She stole the show for sure!
I bought an S60R 4 months ago and my story is pretty darn similar. Its been up on jacks being worked on longer than its been on the road. That said, when its on the road its incredible..... and then it breaks again
Ah, you know the struggle then. Enjoy the car when its working! lol
@@ElliottAlvis I just cant' get any brakes
Should have bought a T5..
Some cars just need Jewish lightning ⚡⚡
Glad I stuck with the P80 platform.
Your uncle is definitely a cool guy!
He rules!
Worth it to wire wheel surface rust off the hubs and Brakleen the calipers while you're down there. As always, love your humor throughout
You are absolutely right, those are great suggestions. Thanks for watching!
I think it's fair to say the Volvo has become the flagship of this channel! Great video as always!
I guess that the presence of you delightful daughter makes Dad jokes inevitable, I hate jacking cars I've heard cracking bodywork too many times to feel happy, great video as always Elliot
I get nervous about it too, there's nothing worse than that cracking body panel sound!
Elliot, your uncle is a legend!! Keep up the great work!! 🇳🇿🇦🇺
I agree, he's the best!
That's awesome that Karl tested out your rotors personally, that what I call personal service. Great video!
Karl is one heck of a guy. Brembo should really pay him more!
Love the volvo video series!
Coming along nicely. Be well and stay safe.
Great to see your uncle working with you, and off course your little one in the brakes maiden voyage.
This is one of the better channels on youtube. Cheers from Finland !
I enjoy your relationship with your uncle.
Thanks Anthony! He's awesome isn't he?
@@ElliottAlvis Yes 👍 this is a reason I enjoy your videos it brings back times for me with my relationship with my Uncle I had a better relationship with my uncle than with my own father. We was best friends.

Not only does Elliot have a nice growing TH-cam channel, but man is he lucky to build the kind of memories that are most important as he gets older.
Your Uncle deserves a free Cat T-Shirt for all of his help. Great video.
Haha, I think he deserves 20 cat shirts at least!
I've found it's a good idea to do several hard stops from 45-60 to seat everything properly.
I like that strategy!
I think you need to have some more coffee in the morning Elliott. You seem sluggish and not yourself. Oh yeah, that looks like a roofing nail....anyone recently redo their roof around your place? If so...they might owe you that tire fix. Congrats to Charlotte for keeping everyone calm and safe.
Yeah, I'm still going through some personal stuff. I'm trying my best to be chipper. But yes, Charlotte brought the spunk!
Thumbs up for Uncle Glen!
Love the content your making with the Volvo v70r. Good to see your doing good things to it, btw your daughter looks just like you!!
Hey, thanks!
Time for Track Day with the Volvo
It's certainly getting there!
17:38 what's with roofing nails this spring? All over my town they've been found and even out front of my shop......at least 3 on the road.......
It's crazy isn't it?! While I was at the tire shop, 2 other people came in with nails as well.
Excellent choice in pads and rotors. Texar is an OEM supplier
Glad I got the right stuff! I was thinking it might've been off brand.
I love the family connection in your content!

Did you thoroughly clean the hub before mounting the new disc? I like to use a special abrasive bell-shaped, hub cleaner you can put on a power drill, can't beat how evenly it cleans the mating surface.
I hope you pumped the brake pedal before you started driving. It could be really bad even if you are driving slowly. Stay safe!
I did! I appreciate your concern lol
Milwaukee, Makita...close enough. Also, Charlotte's presence improves this channel by about 1000%.
Oh my gosh, it is a Makita... I get so used to WatchJRGo and 100PercentJake saying Milwaukee, I said it myself 🤦
@@ElliottAlvis LOL that's awesome

Should clean the rotor/disc with brake cleaner before fitting caliper to remove transit oil (used to prevent rust in storage).
You're right, that is a good suggestion.
This must be the easiest fix you have had so far on the 70R. I cant wait to see the finsihed product. I feel your pain as always but you sure have an awesome wagon. I look foward to future content.

Sure hoping so! lol. Thanks Alexandre!
Dude once the hood is repainted on that Volvo it will look amazing like you said those wheels are awesome
The bravest daughter on TH-cam!
Love these videos. I think one of the main reasons the back of the pad is greased is actually for noise reduction, not movement :)
Ahh, that makes sense too. Thanks for watching Will!
That's exactly it. The metal shims and grease reduce or hopefully eliminate brake squeal

Oh, hell yeah! Fresh brakes all the way around is one of the most rewarding maintenance projects!
The part you forgot to install on the front is called a silencing shim. The backing plate is the rigid inboard sheet metal, roughly the same size as the rotor, there to keep debris off the inboard side of the rotor.
I saw the NoBalance T-shirt, instant thumbs up.

Glad it was just the brake cleaner that didn't work this time😂
These videos make me so happy for some reason 😅
Keep an eye on your brake fluid reservoir when doing this, will easily overflow when you push al the piston back in..
These series of videos have pretty much convinced me to not get one of these cars despite how much I wanted to before and still kind of want to now.
I didn't expect to get called out by Elliott's shirt in the intro today
😂
Good morning Elliott, enjoyed the Volvo content, ur a punny guy!😁
Good morning! Thank you Charles!
Cool Prius!
lol you know the deal 😉
Any chance to respray the hood ? It would looks much better
Yes! I am just waiting to sort out the last of the mechanical issues before worrying about the cosmetics. It'll happen soon though!
Cat shirt game on point again.
Respect!
Those wheels DO look good...
Uncle Glenn is great for the channel

Hey! Thanks man. Magnums are awesome, congratulations on securing one!
I would occasionally re-torque those axle bolts in the center of hub.....they have a tendency to back out. Just a heads up from a former s60r owner
You should never "re-torque" those bolts. They're a one time only and should be replaced with new if they ever need to come off
@@rsscott5672 you are correct if you take them out you need to replace them......the 04-06 had a habit of actually loosening they corrected this in 07 by using a rubber bushing behind the bolt.
Maybe re torque was the wrong word....but just check to make sure they haven't loosened up.
it's a good idea to change the brake fluid at the same time if you don't know when it was last changed.
I changed pads on a Volvo 164 once. I only had to remove the wheel - not the calipers. Rotors were still in great shape- pads had 15-20% left .
Your blessed to have a uncle that is so willing to help you.😇. Now we just Gota get Uncle Glenn wearing a cat T shirt. Lol😂 Your daughter is a lil doll.
Elliott - did you clean the mating surfaces of the hubs to avoid DTV ?
If you don't then your disks will lively warp again if you are unlucky :-(
I didn't this time around, but I really should have!
The Long Awaited Return...and Your Daughter & Uncle Glen Steal the Show!
As usual!
How many times have I put everything back together to find a bit I missed off…….many.
New wheels and tyres going on my CL today, let’s see what I forget to put back?
Great video.

Also man your lucky how easy the rear brake rotors came off! They often rust at the brake cable and also if the rotor is to worn inside from shoe wear the rotor can be a royal pain to remove. My v70R i banged on the back of the rotor for like an hour and it still didn't break free i said forget it lol still seized to this day but im about to weld a bracket to a bottle jack and come back with new rotors and shoes before i take it on the road manual swapped. hopefully it works
used retainer pins tend to depart on their own, I always get all new hardware.
when a pin falls out the second pin rattles loose, then the pads depart and you lose all the brake fluid.
Disc brakes on Corvette came out in 1965 and were standard 4 wheel discs. Before that, Corvettes came only with drum brakes.
You could get disc brakes in the front starting in 63, but they were standard 4 wheel discs in 1965. You are correct!
The Brymbo brakes work very well for the power to weigh ratio of the car.
Good job, Elliott. Nice to see the Volvo getting attention. One note, though. That brake fluid was looking a bit off in the master cylinder. I'm guessing it is a while since it was flushed. Bad idea to leave it. The water absorbed by the fluid can rust out the ABS pump, accumulator, or actuator, none of which is cheap. Be prepared, it takes a bunch of fluid.

Gotta love 'em.
Err thats like 4 gallons, maybe 1.7 L, I only needed 0.8L on my S80
Holy smokes, thats a lot of fluid! I plan on doing a full flush soon.
@@henrikalnesjo3445 Yeah, 17 litres, surely that cant be right.
check your handbook, mine said the system holds 0.56L, so I ended up using only 0.8L flushing it, can depend some depending how bad your old oil is
Great progress, sweet daughter!
I do like your videos👍 Patrik from Sweden
