    Amazing. I am always inspired by people who spend time in recording and SHARING knowledge with the others. I have the same Volvo and I stuck with the handbrake task. This video comes in help. GOD bless you, man.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and expertise. Why people would down vote this video is stupid.I guess they are the types who alert the fire brigade if they see a lit candle. Top chap!

    Fantastic video, you put a lot of thought into showing the important parts, and how to do it, you have made my life so much easier for the coming few days, because i have to replace the innards of my off side rear drum brake due to a catastrophic failure, which lead to everything within the drum to disintegrate, a broken retaining spring has led to this by all accounts ! as V70s are prone to severe damage if the retaining spring brakes, and looking at this video has helped me to know how to replace the expander, and what happens to it when pushed through to opening to the cable, so thank you very much, you're a lifesaver, and given me the knowledge required to tackle this with a certain degree of confidence.

    Amazing video you've explained each step clearly. I played your video on my phone as I did it so I could follow you at the same time.

    Well. I'm not looking forward to it but it seems like my cables are done. Changed the pads out yesterday/today and the difference in new and old pads was around 1,5mill at tops. Adjustment was maxed out with the old pads at the handle end of cable. Thank you for the clear tutorial videos, these have made owning a volvo a very, or at least a relatively easy and pleasant experience, six years and 100k in so far! While I was at it, I swapped out driver side back door, that was also a pretty painless experience!

    Thanks for the great video. My V70 made a horrendous sound when starting to move on the drive way, which could only have been a faulty handbrake as the discs seemed ok. I took the hubs apart and the shoes had started to de-laminate on one hub and on the other side when I removed the rotor, the brake friction pads just fell out ! Luckily no damage in the hub itself. Just one hint for a less experienced mechanic like myself is that one might need to back off the handbrake adjustment, by the hand brake in the car, when replacing the shoes on a 140,000 mileage car, as initially I couldn't get the rotors back on ! Thanks again

    oh, and another point, there is an aftermarket minor mod that is helpful. The fixed expander can be replaced with adjustable expanders off eBay or Amazon. They are just short of £15 for a set that does both sides. They allow adjustment of the shoes in side the drums and may even allow a longer duration before needing to change the complete cables.

    Thanks for this video. I've just finished doing mine today. What a pig of a job! I ended up removing the centre console like yourself as the cable kept catching on something before entering the hole under the console. There was a small gap in the carpet that I could get my fingers in to sort it out.
