Hey i'll be working on a 1998 v70 cross country tomorrow and am wondering how exactly i need to go about replacing the rear rotors and their pads...is there a certain walkthrough i could use along with what tools are necessary? I havent seen the discs, but from what I know I need to do is use a [allen?] wrench to unbolt the calipers(after the car is raised and the wheels off) and disconnect the brake line? From there on I'm lost unless the rotors slide off and if the pads are self explanatory...

any help would be much appreciated..thank you

 

It is all straight foward. The front's you will need a 7MM allen to remove the caliper. A 15MM to remove the caliper bracket. Then the 10MM for the little screw through the rotor.

The rear you will need a punch to remove the pins to change the pads. Then a 13MM to remove the caliper and the 10MM for the little screw.

 

Yeah, it's not too bad. Good luck!

 

ok so i tried today and had not luck. It is actually a 1998 V70 Cross Country (AWD) i was mistaken earlier. I didnt find anywhere to use the allen or the punch.. I managed with a 13mm... I unbolted the four bolts, two to the rotor and two to the caliper... it came off (the caliper) but the rotor is still stuck.. how and where to i clamp (with a c clamp) the brake likes? is it in the hood or by the caliper and what do i do? the rotor wont budge from the car...

thanks!!

 

Probably not using a big enough hammer if all the bolts are out. Those suckers can be stuck. I have never done an AWD though.

 

Make sure the e-brake is off and hit it harder.
Ok the AWD does not use the pins.
