Hey,
I did front brakes yesterday so far so good.

Tomorrow I am planning to do rear.
I have checked rear brakes and compared parts.
The question is what for that metal things are? I am asking as I got exactly the same brake pads that i have installed right now and there is no those metal inserts.

Those are referred to as "brake hardware". When you take your old pads out, you'll see these metal clips (they'll be all likely full of dirt) clipped into indents of the brake caliper mounting carrier. Take those old clips off and fit the new ones. If you don't want to do that, make sure you clean the old ones well for smooth brake operation. Also, make sure the part of the clip where the pad sits into is lubricated.

I'm not sure why the fronts didn't have new brake hardware. Good quality pads usually come with new clips for the front and rear. Its possible that the front has a different design to the rear, i.e. there may be no clips on the front, but there might be on the back. I've seen that before.

@Kev0607. I recently did the (old shape) V60 front and back.

The back pads had these clips which were fitted as you describe. The front didn't. So yes it is often the case. Just depends how the different calipers are designed.

Hello all,

Quick info for you if you are looking to change brakes by yourself in V90 D4 MY20.

After you get the correct parts from any shop you normally use make sure that you have too.
  • T30 Torx bit for Disc screw. 10Nm to screw it back.
  • 7mm hex bit drive 3/8" for 2 caliper slide screws. Same size front and rear. 57Nm force to screw it back.
  • 18mm Socket 1/2" drive for Front caliper bracket. 200Nm.
  • 15mm socket 1/2" drive for rear caliper bracket. 120Nm.
  • Caliper push tool.
  • 9V battery for winding your rear brakes.

I found out that my car get DTC on ABS after I winded rear brakes.
  • C20071B - General electrical failure of the right motor
  • B111167 - Electric parking break enabled. incorrect signal after the event.

There were no driver assist available like speed limit or pilot assist.
Since DTC removed all is great. Have this in mind when replacing brakes.

One more thing to say there is no vibration during driving or under braking, I would say the vibrations have gone that I had previously when I was going with speed between 80-90mph.
