Great work, spent ages looking for a video with my specific brakes, and then found this. Very detailed, very clear, have me the confidence to order up the parts and do the job myself.
Great work. I really appreciate your videos. Your attention to detail is impeccable. Keep up the great work.
I just bought new rotors and pads for my XC60 last week and I'm gonna try to do it myself for the first time. This is amazingly helpful. Hälsningar from Sweden.
Great job...cleaning and adding some anti-rust paint is a nice touch. Your level of detail and specific explanations are a great help for those of us DIY people that enjoy working on our Volvos
(1)Piston side wears more usually.
(2)Without grease on the pins your caliper might not move so easily when the pedal is applied...pretty important step.
Good clearly shot and explained video!
Thanks
thanks for the tips and doing all the hard work first so it’s easier for me when I do my brakes. Before all my repairs I check to see if you have done it already. You have made maintaining my Volvo easier and a pleasure. Thanks
Hi from Australia Your attention to detail is next level, enjoy your passion for what you do
Keep up the good work
The reason your inner brake pads were faster than the outer pads, is the inner pad sits against the caliper piston which touches the rotor first because of the lack of lubricant on the pad/rotor bracket to move freely engaging both pads simultaneously. Over time this lubricant dries up and then corrosion sets in.
You've done a great job servicing your front brakes and detailing the surrounding area. You'll probably never have to buy a new car if you keep this up. Lol.
I enjoy watching your videos. I own a 2009 S60 2.5T.
I, like you, do a complete and detail service on all my vehicles.
Getting ready to replace the front brakes on my 2012 XC70, your video has been the best I've seen! Thanks for the effort!
I was trying to get the damn caliper off for a half hour, I didnt realize you have to compress it while it's on the rotor, great trick!
Of course, aesthetically, your cleaning and painting of the whole area is much better! Great job!
After watching this will be attempting to replace my own front discs and pads myself on my Xc70 , a garage would never take the time to execute to this standard ! Would whip the callipers off , Chuck the pads in and windy gun the lot. Thanks to this vid and the fantastic standard shown now have the confidence to complete and know it’s done properly . Thank you
I got my brakes renewed today with the help of this video. It was very useful, thank you so much! Your car looks great too!
Hi! A few years ago I did anti-corrosion protection in a professional workshop. Everyone said there is no need to do that for an almost new car, but the guy who performed the service said that the key is to protect the car before the rust will appear, not when we will find it.
Also pls. consider a cardboard sheet under working area. It perfectly absorbes each spots, fluids and oils. I buy it in local paper wholesaler for 0.25-0.40 eur / 1 piece 220x150cm depends on thickness. Town cleaning company collects it from my gate every monday. No bad smells, nice and clean garage :)
PS. Perfect job. Nice to watch as always.
Best regards
Yes good. Remember engine oils often are contaminated with heavy metals i.e. lead
Your videos are always excellent. The cleaning/repainting the calibers and suspension parts made them look 👏👌👍👏👏👏
Finally somebody actually cleans the stuff when replacing parts, great job, I am gonna replace my XC90 roters and brakes. Thank you very much
A very informative and educational video. You covered all of the process and most of all made it look easy for the newbie.
Many thanks for all the hard work.
I really like your videos. You explain very clearly and you film it from an angle that its very clear to see and follow. Really great. Thank you.
I think the reason the inner pad wears more is because the slider pins do not have enough lubrication, so the caliper is not pulling the outer pad onto the rotor as it should
The inner pads wear more because for the caliper to be pulled closer bringing the outer pad there must be contact on the inner pad with the rotor/disc. Think of a tug of war and leaning backwards to pull the other guy you must dig your heels in, same with the pads, the inner pad is digging in to pull the caliper and outer pad into contact with the rotor/disc
Thanks for another nice video! What I have found is that for the bolts that keep brake support in place (18mm head) the thread-lock is the reason for them to stick when unscrew. In order to do it easier and with less force you should unscrew them till it is hard to rotate it and then tighten them back. Once they are all in, you could unscrew them again and they will go further out. It needs 2 or 3 repetitions to get bolts removed. This in-out action removes the thread-lock without effort and you do not need to apply a lot of force after initial movement (you still need the big pray bar to make them move in the beginning).
Excellent video. Thanks very much, your process is really logical and thorough. The kids add a lot too. Dad is setting a great example doing his own automotive work in the garage. Self-sufficiency is best learned by example!
Very nice video, everyone can learn and do it self from your videos. Nicely finished with the cleaning and repainting. Well done. Looks great.
Great job! You've done the job like no other service will ever do it for you!
I really enjoy watching your videos. You are a Great instructor. Greetings from a Dutch living in Switzerland.
Thanks for the video. I have a V70 and this helped me replace my pads yesterday. Really enjoyed the job.
My dad told me years ago that he thought greasing brake slider pins was not the right thing to do. The reason is because the range of movement is so small and the power of the braking strong so it’s unlikely to ever seize through lack of lubrication. The downside of grease is it attracts dust to stick to it - leaving a sticky mess more likely to cause problems. Indeed my slider pins were coated in dirty black gunk when I removed them. I cleaned them and replaced them dry. This always seemed logical to me. Interested to hear other views though.
I was tempted to paint the callipers while there but at 140,000 miles my car is fairly scruffy - so I decided it wasn’t worth it. It would be a slippery slope of spending money bringing it back up to standard!
Thank you for the excellent detailed video. Your explanation, sizes of the tools needed, the torque setting and quality of the video were excellent and huge help when greasing the slider pins. Thanks again
Totally agreed, the new brakes look AMAZING with all of your effort and LOVE putting into the task. You're such an oriented, detailed person! Your videos are not only well entertaining but also give the DIY audiences the confidence to take care of their own vehicles. BTW to avoid metal contacting metal between the stand and the vehicle frame, I cut a small square piece rubber from old tire instead of using towel. CHEER!
Thx for the tip on the rubber piece. Definitely will implement.
Good job!! Finally a video! I like that you take care of your Volvo!
Excellent video Yuri very detailed and you have gone one step further to prevent any other problems occurring especially rust prevention.
Jay. U.K.
Thx Jay!
Hey Man, I love it how much you care about your Volvo. Good job and keep it up.;)
Greetings from the UK, can i just say a massive thank for for this video as it was such a great help doing my disks! my disks weren't that bad but i was getting massive wheel wobble under braking
Interesting and instructive video. I have a 2008 XC70 with the 3.2L petrol engine. I had a mechanic replace my rotors but after watching your video I realise I should have done myself.
Great job on the wheel arches. Looks great. Also, I have never heard of anyone cleaning the lug nuts until now. Your perfectionism is equally scary and admirable.
The lug nuts actually got cleaned :)
Thanks V Much. I was stumped when I couldn't compress the cylinder. Thanks for taking the time to make the video
You have passion doing any job with your volvo. And because of it looking your videos is a pleasure 👍
I like the video very much, enjoyed it and had a professional-money-saving advice. Everyone should love his/hers volvo as you do! Great Video!
Simply the best. Very refreshing to have high quality video, good lighting. Thank you!
By far the best tutorial for changing front rotors, thank you!
Thank you thousand times for this video! I'll change the front rotors and pads myself this summer on my XC60 and this helped me alot to figure out what I should have at hand then. Thank you! 😀🙂
Your videos are excellent. works just as well on my 2008 V70 2.4D. Keep it up!
I think you did a fantastic job detailing the brake parts. Oh, a video from FCP EURO said the inner pads wear sooner because of the pressure of the caliper plunger.
Excellent job. Better than a professional job. With your maintenance, this car will last for ever. I am a long time subscriber, even though I am no mechanic.
Thank you. The car is in very good condition. It drives really nice too. Will keep it as long as I can.
Excellent tutorial on front brake pads and rotor replacement. You make getting that valiper sprng back in place look easy, but I know it is not easy.
I just love the attention to detail and the pride that you put into caring for your XC70. Makes me want to be a better Volvo owner lol.
I drive an ‘08 XC70 with the same color as yours. I will be watching a lot more of your videos soon as spring is here and the weather is right for me to begin doing some needed maintenance. Brakes all around is first on my list.
Thanks for the great videos ✌🏼
An excellent & informative production from a perfectionist. Thank you for your informative series.
Yes another great video from this man, I have just renewed my front Discs and pads using Pagid which are German quality,and done various other mods to the car also, very helpful information from his videos, Thank you keep them coming!
Nice attention to details. Good to see a video from Manitoba, from former Winnipeger. I have same set of tools from PA and Stanley.
Well done!! Steps and details are impressive!! I believe this procedure will work for my C70
I'm learning more and more watching your video's. I'm picking up a 2013 XC70 T6 next week. Just went on JCWhitney for new Power Stop Z23s, Mevotech Control Arms, and New Calibers. I want to break out the Eastwood PowderCoating kit I picked up for my CJ for the Control Arms and Calibers.
This man is an inspiration to us all.
It's always fun to see your wonderful job! Thank you!
Excellent video and gonna make my brake job this weekend a lot easier, although probably longer as I'm now motivated to clean and paint everything haha.
Amazing job. Always wanted to understand how it is done exactly on a Volvo.
Thanks a lot you are simply the best, after watching your video I ordered the correct pads (316 mm) and changed them with ease. I bought ATE Ceramic pads.
I wish I will do it one day. I love my Volvo and the way you treat them inspired me to do the same. Thank's for sharing time with us.
Superb video and thanks for providing the detailed steps. A job well done.
Nice job, I am going to replace front brakes in autum as well. Thank you for the video.
love the fog lamps. i will be installing on my car. love how you are very careful and take good care of your car
That’s a very Nice job Juri. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, Really enjoyable and informative. Defiantly my go to for anything to do with the car. made my day!
After you replace, clean and lubricate everything you should not see uneven wear on the pads. You did it the right way!
Your videos are amazing this is another jewel amongst the gems. Man love your vids keep rocking.
Thanks man! Now I think I know just about anything I need to know about my car's brakes before I start changing parts.
Excellent tutorial video! I’ve got to do a 2009 S 60 tomorrow and this is what I needed. Very much appreciated.
Easy job. Thx
Great video, thank you. About uneven brake pads there is 3 possibilities
1. Sticking slider pins, guide pins
2. Sticking brake caliper piston
3. And sometimes even old brake lines could cause that, because fluid can`t go back easily when brake pedal is released but it`s very rare. But I think no mater what inside brake pad still wear more than outside pad.
Per your #3, old soft lines will cause that for sure.
I am always looking forward to it
I am also riding the XC70.

Me too 2010 from Baltimore, USA.
Thanks a lot for this video. I was able to change my front rotors and pads last week on my volvo s80 2010 T6. The only difference is that mine had 300mm rotors instead of 316mm. I will try the rear ones next week
Thanks! Worked for my 2015 XC60. Some small differences, however, worked just fine.
This is my dream scenario to be able to spend time on the details on my volvo like you have done here. Great job!!!
GOOD JOB-THE WHEELARCHES LOOK AMAZING.
Great work! I'd love to buy one of these and do a little work on my own. Yours are the only videos I can find. I'm in the US and so no diesel versions so I'll have to keep looking for the parts under the hood where they differ.
when you clean the grooves for pads slide be aware that they are already worn out and you can get what I got - knocks when braking. I spent a lot of time searching the source of knocking, it was not tight sitting pads in those grooves that you sand
Properly done everything... Great Job making the video !
Thanks! You really make great videos, I get really detailed information and inspiration🙏 👍
I drive a Volvo S80 V8 and it is basically the same brakes on mine.
Greetings from Sweden🇸🇪
Hello SWEDEN from Canada!
Very nice, I’ll do this job on my 2011 XC60. I think my rotors are 328mm but the procedure is the same. Thanks for sharing!
Great video! This job is on my list after I change the the rear shocks.
Great video, thanks for sharing. You are an inspiration. My XC70 2008 D5 currently has 270.000KM and drives great.
Glad to hear. Happy Volvoing
My 2005 Euro3 XC70 D5 Auto Geartronic has 204K miles (328K km) and drives perfectly - just passed MOT without any advisories. The 2008 XC70 euro4 D5 Auto Lux Geartronic Polestar has 161K miles (259K km) and also drives and feels like new. The new Michelin CrossClimate2 are fantastic. The 2005 has the CrossClimate+ and they have also worked amazingly well.
I does look amazing. Just as a fellow Canadian, hitting your first slush puddle after all that cleaning would make me cry!
I love your videos ..... easy to understand and you give good information .. my own is a 2014
Your videos are amazing. I learn so much from you!
Different pad wear is almost certainly the slide pins sticking. Interestingly, Volvo makes it easy here to pull out the pins w/o doing anything else so that you can service them. (awesome) I would suggest you pull, clean/polish, and regrease them every winter and summer to keep the calipers sliding nicely and avert other problems that result from stuck calipers ~
Best instruction video ever. - Keep up the good work rgds. Bergen, Norway
Dude you are the best. My favorite Volvo youtuber
Thx Man!
You're the best, technically. 👍
Hi and thank you for a very comprehensive video. One point, on my Volvo XC60 T6 the pins that hold on the caliper are held in place with a 9mm hex, not 7mm. I had to resort to using a sump plug socket as 9mm is not a common hex bolt size.
This will help someone with XC60. Thx
You asked in the video about uneven wearing of the inboard pad. Bendix suggests it's due to lack of lubrication of the caliper guide pins. Due to your harsh winter conditions, your pins had a lot of surface rust on the lower half, suggesting the outboard pads were not being returned to the full open position because of friction caused by the rust on the guide pins.
In Australia our winters are very mild, so my pins had no rust and still has some grease present, so my pads were both evenly worn.
I would suggest for those of you living through Canadian winters would benefit from additional preventative maintenance by taking out the pins mid winter and using a more robust ceramic grease on them to get even wear on your pads.
Very clear Eternal thanks you helped me with instruction do my v70-!!😝👍👍👍
Suppose the only thing not mentioned was you have to sometimes push the piston back with biggish screw driver to get the calliper off it was jamming on one side
Appreciate your Footage though
peace and Happy New Year🕊
Your work is amazing! Great video!
Great work ! You do things with your heart i can see that
Awesome attention to detail! Great job!
Just changed all brakes on my V70 Mk1 to brembo. Really good brakes compared to the old ones!
Another great video Yuri. Looks like a lot of time and effort but the results speak for themselves . Don’t know where you get the time for all this with two young sons ! I think if I suggested this job to my wife I’d be told where to go. My 2013 D5 xc70 will have to wait a bit longer . Thanks for sharing .
Hey. I dont have the time but still find it. Every evening after kids go to bed I would spend some time. I love summer time when it gets dark at 10pm.
Thx
Great job Uri keep it up during cv19 mate.

Thanks so much, just did mine today, and this made it all easy. A word of CAUTION.. my rotor bolt (T50) was absolutely seized, heat, penetrating fluid.. nothing helped. The head snapped off. So I redrilled the bolt out and retapped, and my tap broke inside! SO I decided to not use the bolt!! No choice. Wheel studs will have to hold it on. Hope this doesn't happen to anyone else, it was a day of hell.
Oh, you were a little late with the video, I just finished the same job on my XC70. I also had this uneven wear problem in the front, my inner pads were significantly more worn. On the rear calipers the wear was more even but not perfect, the slider pins in the rear were almost completely seized.
Great work Dimitri !
Very nice video as always! Happy Canada Day!
Yep, its tomorrow!
Great Job 👍 Next month I have to do the same work on my V60 T6 from 2019 with now round about 64,000 Km. I bought the brake pads and the rotors directly by ATE, so I was able to save a lot of money. Hopefully it is the same quality in comparison to the original parts. Best Regards from Germany, Martin
The reason for the uneven wear inner vs outer pad is dirt on the slider pins. They are highly polished at the factory. Best to use only solvents on them to clean them 😁 As suggested below use silicon grease when refitting them.
Vida says not to lube slide pins on my 2013 xc70. Any reason why?
@@pgreenx Heaven knows perhaps some silicon or teflon spray instead
Best how to video i ve seen so far
The inner pads wear out faster because of the design. It has the piston on that side and gets more of the mild braking where you just brake easy.. So the inner pads do more of the work.
Great video sir.
I dont think so.
That not the reason at all we’re do u get this the reason your pads are wearing uneven is because you need to clean the sliders that the pads sit in and put a tiny bit of copper grease on the slider and on the back of the pad and slider pins it’s nothing to do with mild braking of the piston or anything like it I’m a engineer on car and trucks
Yah you can see when he pumps the brakes. It's designed to "pull" the outer inward.
I am using Carlube Silicone Grease XSG070 on my Volvo XC70 2006 D5 Diesel when servicing on my brakes and I am verry impressed of results.
On sliding pins:
The calipers are floating even 3 Years after this treatment .No sign of corrosion.
In the description:
ADVANTAGES:
Extreme temperature resistant multi purpose grease
Lubricates and protects plastic and rubber parts
Ideal for brake pads, o rings rubber seals and brake callipers
Water repellent
Because it has low dense ,I use a tiny tube - as in the pen.
I pushing the tube inside in the grease and then with it lubricate inside the tubes for the sliding pins.
Due to its construction, the Outer pad has more friction to work, no matter how much it is lubricated. Then the pressure on the inner pad is the greatest and wears out the most.
Great job buddy 👍 greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪☀️
Thx! Hello from Canada and thx for a very nice Swedish car.
