Having just read the original post however, I realise this was 2016, so the calipers I fitted have lasted longer than I thought.
Its highly unusual to have to refurbish a volvo caliper even going back 40 years and even on the cheapest 340. The 340 from 1988 in the family still has all it's original brakes and linings ( as well as everything else ) at 80,000 miles.
