Hi Clan, Do you ever get the feeling that no-one is listening to you!!

Please don't stop giving advice and helping others on this Forum, I am listening to you and have "Bookmarked" several of your helpful tips. I was going to buy one of those electronic gadgets for winding back the rear callipers some time ago but why bother when, as you said, "Just buy some volvo rear pads and the leaflet inside should explain how to change them!"

Cheers, Grant

It does seem that for some there is just no hope! You only need to look at the amount of post about previous models we get in this section, to see some clearly don't read the info properly.

For the rest of us, Clan we appreciate your wisdom and extensive knowledge.

Hi all, here is a copy from the genuine Volvo v70 rear pads instructions that explains how to do the job without the epb tool neither connecting it to Volvo equipment. I did it myself and straight forward job

Thanks for posting the jpg, unfortunatly the scan is quite pixelated and difficult to read the text, any chance you can rescan it at a better quality?

Thank you

Roy

If you buy genuine Volvo discs the instructions in the box tell you to use a torx driver to wind the motors back to home.

MaxiEST EST201 is quite a old stuff on newer Volvo models. Autel has upgraded it MaxiService EBS301, covers newer models I think. but the price updated too, 100 euro or so. There is smaller plug-and-play QUICKLYNKS EP31 EPB tool, fits new Volvo S80, (2007 and onwards), V70( 2008 and onwards), XC70 (2008 and onwards),XC60( 2010 and onwards),S60 (2011 and onwards), and 50 euro well packed

Hi. I did this myself earlier this year. I ended up buying an Autel EBS301 for the job.
Would have been cheaper letting Dealer change them. It took about an hour to do both rear pads. That's from parking up to driving off. The tool is easy to use but the engine needs to be off, but at prime stage. I had problems with other tools as I also have the keyless drive & couldn't get the system to work. persistence paid off.
I'm willing to loan my tool to anyone near by but that's in sw Scotland.
We were advised for 2 years in a row by dealer to change the pads but when I came to change them they still had at least 4mm left. I could have waited another year.
There are methods of manually winding the epb back but I would advise against it as there are potential other parts that could get damaged in the process & the EPB tool does it so easily along with removing the fault code when all is complete.

Hi. I have just replaced the rear discs and pads on my 2008 V70 and it was simple. Once the calipers are off, remove the electric motors and use a torque drive to wind the calliper in by turning the screw clockwise until it stops.

Push the piston back as normal and replace everything as normal. Once the car is off the ramp/jack, start the motor and pump the pedal a few times to bed the pads against the disc as normal. Then, press the park brake on then off three times.

No computer. No warning lights. No hassle.

Hope this helps.
