Replaced all brake pads....some observations
So I replaced all 4 brake pads with Power Stop Ceramic brake pads. I watched several videos on youtube for changing brake pads just to make sure there wasn't anything unique about these Volvo brakes vs BMW or Audi which I've done before. Nothing special except for the rears......that requires a bit more work because of the electronic emergency brake. Watch the videos and they show you exactly how to work those.
What I did want to mention was that for the front brakes, several videos indicate that you either need a 7mm or 9mm hex head to remove the caliper bolts. No so for me. My 2017 XC60 T6 Inscription required 11mm hex head which I had to order on Amazon. Once I got it in the mail, replacement was a cinch.
The Power Stops are great so far and no more black brake dust on the wheels.... FTW!!
