I love the sound these discs make during the first few applications... some time back, when that was a new feature, I failed to fully bed the pads & discs. Had a customer come back (right after leaving) complaining about a grinding noise. Oops!
Nice job. You even greased up the sliders :-) I learned the proper way of servicing my breaks from South Main Auto a while ago. It's so easy, everyone can do it.
Volvos was even more popular before, now it's more diverse. But actually Volkswagen golf is the best selling car in Norway. And we have a higher number of electric cars compared to the rest of Europe. They have no taxes on them. But i prefer cars with a proper engine.
Great video! I have the same car, and when I changed the rear pads, unfortunately, I didn't have the piston winding tool so I used a pair of long nose pliers to push and wind back the caliper piston, and now, I have to keep re- adjusting the handbrake every two weeks or so because it slackens off .. is there a remedy for this? Or do I need to replace/rebuild the rear calipers?
Great work Rob and I'm like you that I don't even bother to have rotors machined. As they are not expensive, I just replace them too. Have a great weekend!
Thank you Sir! I'm working on our C70 now....it has the brake hose and parking brake cable in the way of the top bracket bolt....cuss words here..... I had to go get the compressing tool. First time ever a C clamp wouldn't compress the Piston....
Very informative!Great job!Can I ask you a favor..?Could you measure distance between pins centres please as non of my adaptors are good to do the job.Suppose need to modify one.Many thanks
Enjoy your videos. I have noticed on a lot of european makes these days that many fasteners are considered non reusable particularly on VW brake components. Do you come across this with other makes and is it really necessary to replace such fasteners?
Good question! A lot of Euro manufacturers indeed recommend to replace certain bolts, this is because they consider them a one time use as they are usually 'stretch' bolts and once torqued to spec they shouldn't be used again. Usually there is a spec saying only to use once or only use twice etc.
Great video! One quick question, when it comes time to pump the brakes/articulate the handbrake, do you do it twice (once after each caliper has been done) or just do it once after both calipers have been done? Cheers Paul
@@OneAuto cheers I did them like for like. But after watching your video checked this morning in work and your right was wrong way. First time I have done them was a volvo grarge that has done them before thank for the reply spot on now cheers
Nice review. I am trying to do it on my car VOLVO S40, butI get a problem that the whole piston came out completely and the biggest problem which got there no space to put tools between piston and rear calliper!! what should I do now ? any idea>>>>
Ouch... i got v50 and about to do my 1st brake discs+pads change next week , but you have scared me a little bit with that piston coming out.Maybe you had h/brake applied and that made it pushed so far ? Hope you got it sorted.
Thanks... the Milwaukee impact is a beast! It's scary powerful. I had a Snap on gun for 4 years prior to this one and it beats it hands down. A worthwhile investment.
Hey I'm first and saw my sticker first. lol Thanks so much for the shout out. Now on to the important stuff, how to fix cars! Do you own your own shop? I don't have a Volvo but I enjoyed the tips along the way. I've spent a lot of time in Germany and they don't allow brake rotors to be machined. Is that the same for you?
You're welcome Wyatt. Yes it's my shop. You can machine brake rotors if you want to here. There are machines that do it whilst they are still on the car even. However rotors are not expensive so I always fit new. What were you doing in Germany?
The first three years I was in Nuremburg flying the Cobra helicopter. Then I went back as a fixed wing pilot to Heidelberg for 2 1/2 years where I met my current wife. She has family in Karlsruhe and we go back every other year to visit.
I don't have many pictures. Even when I owned a camera I never thought to take any pictures. I may search around one day and do a slide show or something. We'll see how it goes.
@@OneAuto Thank you for responding, and so fast!! 😊 Very helpful to me! Is there any chance you know the correct torque for the same bolts on the front brakes as well? 120Nm?
Copper grease should never be used on brake systems 🤦🏻♂️ there are special brake lubricants. Copper grease can be easily washed off, can give false readings to ABS sensors and worst case scenario can seize the pads. It’s unreal that mechanics don’t know that. Most mechanics in UK is doing it wrong. I only use ceramic grease which will stay on bracket, and can work under high temperatures unlike copper grease.
i have the same model car from 2006. wanting to change my discs and pads. but i seem to get this steering wobble when slowing from high speed or even at average driving speed what would you think it is? its not bad wobble just something small thats annoying me

Yep the sound of satisfaction! I prefer them with the primer on cause you can actually see when they have bedded in fully.
Nice job. You even greased up the sliders :-) I learned the proper way of servicing my breaks from South Main Auto a while ago. It's so easy, everyone can do it.
Krillekris Cheers, I bet you see more Volvo's than us being next to Sweden?

Exactly were i learned how to do brakes from SMA

Thanks Terry and to you 👍
I think those brakes came out of the same parts bin as my Focus, apart from the rust, you can definitely keep that! Nice job
Yep all the same.. Volvo and Ford sharing parts again :)
Superb mate... seems straight forward I’ll give this a go this weekend.. p.s im not a mechanic all the best from Craig in Scotland
Thank you Sir!
I'm working on our C70 now....it has the brake hose and parking brake cable in the way of the top bracket bolt....cuss words here.....
I had to go get the compressing tool. First time ever a C clamp wouldn't compress the Piston....
A good trick I learn't when winding back the pistons is spray the rubber boots with a lubricant & they slide back in beautifully without ripping!
Ashley Burton Excellant idea!
Would WD40 work?
My new discs has a installation hole and comes with a screw. But i have no hole on my Volvo rear wheel hub. Can i throw the screw?
Very informative!Great job!Can I ask you a favor..?Could you measure distance between pins centres please as non of my adaptors are good to do the job.Suppose need to modify one.Many thanks
Figured out.It's 19mm PCD. Available from Amazon for BMW Mini Cooper www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0012M9JMK/ref=pe_3187911_189395841_TE_dp_1

Nice job. Two stickers from Wyatt , awesome.....
He's a top fella!!
Great video!
One quick question, when it comes time to pump the brakes/articulate the handbrake, do you do it twice (once after each caliper has been done) or just do it once after both calipers have been done?
Cheers
Paul
Just once after both sides have been done
Great, thanks for the quick reply.
I'm assuming before you start the job that you release the handbrake?
Paul McCaffrey correct
You Sir, are a star.
Discs and pads getting done all round at the weekend!
Hi! brake pads have ”pins” ... does the piston position matter how it aligns with those pins.
Yes If they have pins align them with the holes in the piston
Question,
I just did this and the guide pins don’t tighten the caliper all the way down. Is that Normal?
The guide pins move freely .there not for tightening anything
Hi,can you make this for the front ones v50?
Hi did mine 06 v50 got lots off grinding noise now not sure what I have done wrong did the same as you any suggestions
Yes. Go back and check what you’ve done. Pads in backwards?
@@OneAuto cheers I did them like for like. But after watching your video checked this morning in work and your right was wrong way. First time I have done them was a volvo grarge that has done them before thank for the reply spot on now cheers
Hi,nice job.What type of grease did you use for sliders?Thank you
It's a brake grease suitable for pads and sliders that comes with the brake pads. If they come without it I use silicone grease.
Silicone grease with no damage to the rubber?
No it's fine
Very very very good video
Nice review. I am trying to do it on my car VOLVO S40, butI get a problem that the whole piston came out completely and the biggest problem which got there no space to put tools between piston and rear calliper!! what should I do now ? any idea>>>>

Finally! I fixed it by special tools. you can check my video at minut 05:25 . here is link th-cam.com/video/zE-OLpnHHvY/w-d-xo.html
Were there anti-squeal shims on the pad backs? I thought you dont lube them
They are pre-bonded onto the back of the pad. No problem with lubing them, the grease acts as another layer to stop vibrations that can cause squeal.
Nice video!! Thank you . . .
once again nice video. how do you like that big boy milwaukee impact gun? . those rotors are nice
Thanks... the Milwaukee impact is a beast! It's scary powerful. I had a Snap on gun for 4 years prior to this one and it beats it hands down. A worthwhile investment.
One Auto, they have a new mid torque gun that does about 600 lbs .ill probably get that one.

Wow that's awesome. Rotary and fixed wing pilot. You must post some photos if you have any. Make a great vid 👍
I don't have many pictures. Even when I owned a camera I never thought to take any pictures. I may search around one day and do a slide show or something. We'll see how it goes.
Wat is that tool called that pushed the piston and caliber in?
Brake caliper piston rewind tool
Makita grinder disc removal tool fits as well :)
At 7:14 in the video. Do you say 17Nm or 70Nm?
70nm
@@OneAuto Thank you for responding, and so fast!! 😊 Very helpful to me!
Is there any chance you know the correct torque for the same bolts on the front brakes as well?
120Nm?
2005 v50 is it the same way?
Can’t remember exactly but they will be very similar
One Auto, oh ok thanks alot for answering back....
Torqued to Factory Specs, Those rears look very VAG.

Alan Ring most likely cause is the front discs are warped. Fitingt front pads & discs should sort it.
One Auto, i fitted new front brake pads i will try new discs cheers
Alan Ring Be sure to fit new pads with the new discs so they bed in together.
