Volvo S80 parking brake basic maintenance

In this short video I'll show you the process of changing Volvo's S80 handbrake pads (shoes) with basic tools. I'll guide you step by step how to disassemble, clean and reassemble all components.

Edit: I used too much anti-seeze in this video ;) On bolts you'd better use thread-locker. As it was my first automotive video I guess it came just right. Thanks for all feedback! I'm about to prepare my both volvo's to upcoming winter. Any future videos thoughts?

Jack, you ARE the man for showing how to get that retainer spring off in detail with the hook! Saved my ass.

Oglądam twoje filmy z powodów rowerowych. A tu masz VOLVO!!!! Szacun. Nie można kłaść pasty miedzianej na piastę!!! Tam są elementy aluminiowe (np felga). Zapieczenie po sezonie zimowym gwarantowane. Pozdrawiam.

I tried this with my V70.
I had a hard time getting the spring on the left side. The package I received had a spring that was smaller than the original. I put the original back on. To get it on, I put the bottom on first. Then I used a long screwdriver, used the hub for leverage, then lifted the top hook into the hole. It didn't go all the way in. I put the screwdriver into the first rung on the spring and leveraged it up slightly higher. I used a second screwdriver to push it all the way into the hole.

I couldn't get the rotor to go back on. The new pads were thicker than the old and the rotor didn't fit on. I was hot and sweaty so I put the old pads back on until I can figure it out.

The video was great. I took notes and followed step by step and it was perfect . Thanks for the video.

I see you removed the caliper assembly in one go, instead of taking it apart. As I need to do just the parking brake, that saves time and fiddling. Thanks for showing that and the whole job. Nicely done.

A shot of the chemicals you used could be useful, and as already noted, locktight on the bolts is advised.

I feel happier about attempting this after seeing your video.

Thanks for uploading. Nice edit with speeding, inclusion of background sounds and relaxing soundtrack. Fixing my '06 XC70 DIY FTW

Thanks for this very informative video!

This is quite possibly the worst job I've had to do on any car, so I found your video very useful :)

[niteblaster]

With all that beautiful job, the one thing I would say is that; changing the brake discs at the same time would have be bonus. But we’ll done 👍

Klasse Kompliment
Aber Ich Schleife mit einer Feile auch den Bremssattel aus, damit der Rost raus kommt.
Aber hast Du sehr gut gemacht. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

just wish I could work as fast as you, 20 minutes and the job is done!

Did this a few months ago, that damn spring in the back lol. Only problem I have with mine is it doesn't really hold good going forward, but backwards it does fantastic. Still trying to figure it out.

Rewelacja film. Dzieki za podzielenie sie wiedza !!!

You could change the brake caliper rubbers at the same time, you don't need to lubricate those parts, as long as you clean them
.

A bit too shaky at the start but got better, too quick of a view for socket size readability, but thanks. Should hold up what ever you are spraying so us amateurs can see what you are doing,
