well i actually ended up borrowing the breaker bar - some really big ratchet... the front rotors and brakes are all done . next week imma attempt the rears O.o

is the break pedal suppose to feel less responsive than it was before? (it might be the quality part I got? - Duralast parts?). They have not squaked yet, does that mean they wont squeak?

Thanks

It takes a few miles for everything to seat and then they should feel alot better.

hey guys,

Volvo people say that I have Execessive travel on the brake pedal, and he told me I need to bleed my brakes? is that true? it does drop down deep . But I thought it needs to settle in, I've put a few hundred miles on the brakes.

It might need to be bled if air is in the line the pedal will be low.

thanks tech, so also want to note that I think these are squeaking. When I was coasting on the highway today, a lesser volumeversion of my horn sound was comming (almost like the powersteering noise), and when I would hit the brakes the noise would stop..
