Revisiting Ruby! Volvo 240 Handbrake Shoes

Fitting handbrake shoes to a Volvo 245 wagon from scratch as the old set up was completely removed from the car!

At the moment Involvo'd is funded by ad revenue, some very generous Patrons and a dishwashing/delivery job. If you want to support the channel (and get some perks, ie early access to videos, behind the scenes pictures etc, here's a link;

Wow, buying a parts car for restoration; admirable to say the least. And you do something NOBODY else does: you don’t make everything look unrealistically easy. We can see the actual work, mistakes, struggles, and all. Outstanding. Thanks so much. 👍👍👍👍👍

We were both shouting at the Get in there you little h bar 😂 great video, will be nice to see Ruby living on!

Cool to see Ruby will continue her life on the web. Was anyone else looking for the mattress in the background at the old shed??

So lovely to see Ruby again! And what a nice T-Shirt!

Over the years I have not had to deal with any parking brake related issues (thankfully). Thanks for the informative video.

My favourite Volvo channel. -I love Volvos, got two of them myself: -A V40-2002 non turbo petrol and a V70 D5 diesel-2008.

Ruby was my fav as she was in the first video of yours that I watched. Great to see that all your hard work is going to continue Sledge.

When my 740 needed new handbrake shoes, I got my local garage to do the job; I really hate working on drum brakes.

Great to see some footage of Ruby again!
I plan to change the parking brake shoes on my 1985 once I get it out of storage so this is definitely a helpful video.

I'd ask is for sale... But I know I'm already too late 😂

Great to see the baton of Ruby passed on and her YouTube life continue.

[MrSkodas]

Nice update. Often mis a third hand too. 😉 got my own techniques for attaching the brake springs too. 😀

[Honest]

Thank you - great vid. Doing this right now. Had no issues with the right side, plenty of jip on the left

[EnriqueLopez-hbjn]

Isn*t this, where you sent other red wagon went to save Ruby that is getting all restored☝🏽👍👆

Great video Mate! I have spent a lot of time figuring out brakes on my car last summer ;D. Also the hand brake mechanism was so rusted that it took me some time to make it work. Of cource I have grinded off the bars too much and couldn't adjust it properly ;D. Eventually I went with the adjusters and that works great :)

Oh the joys of drums inside discs 😄 most Volvos I’ve owned has had them and they’re always a pain, even in good condition the handbrake on the V70 is as much use as a fart in a wetsuit 🤣 At least you didn’t hook your peepers on them and then pretend you didn’t see that… great video dude.

[dominickhoey]

Hey, good video, good luck with all the work :)

[completeexteriorcleaningse]

Nice one just noticed you channels massive now mate 👍 👏

The most horrible fix on a car there is. I'd rather do anything else but rear brake shoes. It's how i almost lost my eye sight, was prying on the spring and the needle nose pliers slipped and went thru my eye lid and hit my eye. No damage but had a headache for 3 days.
