Nothings ever simple - Brakes.

I've come to learn that nothing is ever simple on the Volvo, possibly becuase Im so inexperienced with cars, but moreso I think just the 480. with the view to changing the rear discs and pads, I bought some from a local motorfactor.

I'm not going to bore you with the details of how exactly one changes rear discs / pads their is many a guide out there. However One of my calipers on drivers side is siezed and as a result the piston isn't moving as effectivly as it should. So my now 1hr job has led the car to be presently stuck on my driveway, awaiting a caliper refurbishment kit to come from brakeparts.co.uk

Anyhow, heres some photos:


Caliper off the Car and soaking to try and get the piston free.



Using a piece of samco and a bolt in the end to prevent brake fluid draining everywhere.
