- Replacing the brake pads and rotors on a modern vehicle shouldn't be intimidating. let me show you how easy it can be. I used the Orbit software to place the rear brakes into service mode.
Get the Orbit Software here: spaycetech.com/
You will need this cable and a laptop to use it: https: amzn.to/3EJ5iKe
Wheel hangers that made replacing the rotors easier: amzn.to/3RuFLfr
Brake fluid I used: amzn.to/45QMHYo
Motive power bleeder: amzn.to/3RpSf7U
Everything else came from FCPeuro.com
ua-cam.com/video/D7n_LkyL0dE/v-deo.html You mentioned you released the brake fluid cap so that air can escape. Which cap is this? The one on the reservoir under the hood?
That is the one, yes.
If this volvo have fuel filter
I can find mi filter volvo s60 T6 polestar 2020 year
Under the car, next to the frame rail near the front seat area.
How many miles have you done ? I’ve a 2019 XC60 with 22 thousand miles on just can you give me a idea of mileage before replacement.
This was close to 35,000 miles. The brakes were still good but one rotor was warped (a common issue with the factory-installed Bosch rotors) so I decided to replace everything before another one went bad.
Why did you cut out the piece of pushing back the rear piston? Does is need rotating while puching?
I didn't cut it, not entirely. You can't see it but it is retracted electronically through the software I used.
Excellent step by step instruction for my 21 Volvo S60
Thanks for watching
Nicely done sir
But why you changed them in the first place they looked good also the rotors looks decent
I don't think you need this job
Both front rotors were warped.
Is it imperative to open the brake reservoir cap when compressing the piston back? I watched another video and the tech didn’t and said it was fine if you don’t. I’m just worried about getting air in the lines and then having to bleed them. Thanks in advance!
You don't need to remove the cap and you won't get air in the lines. Removing the cap before compressing the piston is a sign that your used to working on older cars that didn't have a vented master cylinder. Older cars that have a metal cap that clamps on could actually pop off if they weren't opened first.
@@DIYEVERYTHING thank for very much!
Hello, I have a 2018 s90 I took my car to a shop to get brakes and rotors front and back. Before I allowed the shop to perform the services I had no issues, but after they installed the parts, my car is now shifting hard into drive and reverse. What could they have done wrong?
There is no part of a brake pad and rotor replacement that would cause transmission problems. Could be nothing but a coincidence that the transmission problem appeared at the same time as the service.
@DIYEVERYTHING they have corrected the problem. Somehow, when the mechanic recalibrated the brakes, the program he used was for older vehicles and it did something to computer in the transmission. Whatever computer that corrected the problem was a newer system and was able to restore things back to normal.
great video! feeling ready to tackle the brakes on my wifes 21 s60 right now!
The hardest part is overcoming the thread sealant on the caliper bracket bolts. Once that's free, the rest is a breeze.
How did you get the paint looking so shiny .I find the black paint on my vovolvo to scratch so easily
Thanks, I spent a 3 day weekend doing paint correction and ceramic coat. Then, I wash it every Friday after work and use a ceramic booster once a month.
At what mileage do you recommed changing both rotors and pads?
It's not a milage-based service. Brakes are replaced when the pads have worn to the end of the usable life or when the rotors are no longer usable. In my case, I had a warped rotor. Not knowing the history of the car I opted to replace everything.
Very helpful video. I am about to mine using Orbit also. So great to see how it in use before I do it.
Thanks for watching.
The caliper mount bracket bolts were a pain , super tight
Those were the worst part of the whole job, for sure.
What size are both sets of rotors?
These are the factory recommended sizes. If you are unsure what you need fcpeuro.com can help you.
Hi! How do you lift the vehicle with the jack? What support points do you use for jack stands?
The points I have used may or may not be recommended by Volvo. I would suggest checking your owners manual.
Look for lift points🤷 or even in the back they have a distinctive pad that has a small hole where the
OEM jack slides into
Excellent video great job!
Thank you
Thank you so much for posting this video! I replaced my brakes last year and made a few rookie mistakes... For example I noticed the 3M sticker on the back of the pad AFTER everything was reinstalled. Everything has worked fine, but for the past two months or so there's been an annoying little squeak at low speeds, I'm hoping related to my brake job. Also, when I put it in reverse after driving for a little while there's a single, light metallic click when I tape the brakes backing into the garage which is definitely brake related. This specific video would have been tremendously helpful.
Also, I can't help but to notice your paint and plastic trim look factory fresh - what's your secret???
I've noticed a minor squeal at low speed when the brakes are cold during the winter months but it goes away quickly. The ticking you described could be drive train related, axel, or transmission, hard to say without hearing it in person.
As for the fresh-looking paint, I had recently done a full paint correction and ceramic coat. I also wash her every week and apply a ceramic booster every other week. I'll have to do a video when it warms up. Thanks for watching.
Do you need a computer or something like that to do the rear brakes?
There are several ways to retract the parking brake in the rear calipers. The easy I did it you will need a computer. Other methods use a 9v battery or just a pair of pliers, but I haven't tried the latter two.
what software did you use?
@@marcwilliams911202:20 all the infos are in the video
faster and easier to retract the pistons into the caliper by just using a bar between the pads, and rotor, than playing with one of those tools
Yes, you can.
