On a 1999 S70 is there anything special about replacing the front brake pads? I have done lots of brake jobs on US made cars( Fords Dodges etc..) but never on this or any Volvo, so before I get into something I can't handle I thought I would ask. The last time the car was in for service ( check engine light ) I was told the front pad would need replacing before long, so I want to get to them before I damage the rotors.

Pretty straight foward you will see once you get in there.

You will need a 7MM allen socket to loosen the caliper.

 

Thanks
