Great article.....
Hi, Nick44
That's exactly the article I was looking for. Thought I'd have a look at the rear shoes ('04 V70 134k) as the passenger side wheel occasionally emits a scraping / squealing sound for a few seconds and then goes quiet. I'm wondering if there's a tad of rust that gets between the shoe and the drum and then clears itself? Anyway, looking at my 'trusty' Haynes manual, it says I need new bolts for the calliper bracket..... new bolts on an Easter Sunday? Somehow, I don't think my local Volvo dealer (Kastner) is going to be open! In your opinion, are new bolts really necessary; it's not like they're shear bolts? Also wondered if your 'how to' photographs are still available? I can't seem to find them within the post. Questions questions! Thanks for your time reading this and I hope you may be able to help. Best regards Hedgepig |

I've had my fair share of handbrake problems with my 2006 V70 2.4d, I had the car for about 7 months before it was due an MOT. Up until then the handbrake seemed to work OK but not great, it held the car but with a fair amount of roll-back (or roll-forward!)
It failed the MOT on handbrake, one side was completely ineffective! I stripped it down & found the cause, the stop part of the hub had snapped off, the broken part was not in the brake disk drum so had obviously happened during a previous ownership & the broken off part removed & just left! A friend of mine was able to make a new stop block & drill, tap & bolt it to the hub, this allowed the handbrake to work well enough to pass the MOT after fitting new handbrake shoes & springs, although the roll-back still was there. My thoughts on the matter is why did Volvo put the stop part of the hub on the same side as the handbrake shoe expander, when the handbrake is applied it pushes the shoes apart off the stop block & contacts the brake disk drum and stops it rotating but nothing is stopping the handbrake shoes rotating slightly until the edge of the shoe contacts the stop block again, hence the roll- back? Would having the stop block on the side of the hub where the fixed spacer bar holding the shoes apart prevent this movement after the handbrake is applied or am I missing something? (very likely!)

Mine certainly works. In my case the 'stop' snapped off cleanly and the repair kit went straight on.
If yours isn't a clean break, you may need to grind the 'stub' of the old 'stop' down flush

Handbrake adjustment now possible ...
Just posted this elsewhere …. may help someone struggling to get a good handbrake feel.
-------------------------- As we all know … the handbrake is always a bit sloppy on this model, at the S60 as well, but there is a solution ………. At your local volvo dealer, ask them to get the rear brake parts up on the screen … This is marked as part "15" on the screen they have at the parts counter…. It can be replaced with a proper adjuster, parts "17" and "18". The volvo part numbers are 30793438 and 30793437 - it is adjusted through the stud hole when you have the wheels off. My handbrake now locks on with three clicks, no rock back or sloppiness, an MOT pass every time. Sorry that I have no pics - but the total parts cost was 26.20 …. Hope this helps if any of you have sloppy unadjustable handbrakes Roj 850 GLE saloon 1985 - 2.4 Auto LH Drive (somebody give me 400 quid for it) S40 1.6 manual - 50K mile 2001 MY S60D5 - 269400 mls and going strong … New cam belt on saturday … Soory - just noted that our master member Coventry has already posted pics of this mod in April - Sorry I missed the post - all credit to Coventry.

After reading many horror stories concerning the handbrake on the S60/V70, particularly the shoes and linings delaminating, took the motor to ATS. They did a full brake strip, clean, adjust and reassemble for £32! The fitter was on with the car for nearly 4 hours so very thorough. He showed me the handbrake shoes and linings and all A-ok! What a relief. They priced up 2 rear discs for me at £67 each supplied and fitted, plus I'll get the brake inspection charge refunded! Bonus indeed. So I recommend ATS (just allow a few hours if you get a brake check done).
