Having trouble removing the calipers. Can anyone give me step by step instructions? Any links to a website with pictures?

thanks in advance,
Jim

 

Check Volvospeed.com for instruction for volvo 850/S70 -they have good description on changing brakes, the XC90 is the same, the tools needed: 7 mm hex to remove caliper bolts, if replacing the discs, need 18 mm wrench or socket with possibly braker bar.

 

Tip - if you look at the back side of the caliper, you will see two 8mm bolts near the outside of the caliper. You do not want to remove these!!
Look closer to the center of the caliper and you will find two 7mm bolts. They should have rubber dust covers on them.
I found using a paint can lid remove (free from Home Depot or Lowes) works great to get the covers off. The lip of the opener fits great under the cover.
