In this video, our Director of Motorsport, Nate Vincent, walks you through the process of replacing your rear brake pads and rotors on a 2008 T5 Volvo C30.

Symptoms of worn rear brake pads and rotors on your Volvo P1 C30 won't be as apparent as the fronts. These are just some of them:
-A grinding coming from the rear, under braking
-Vibration coming from the rear, under braking
-Deep grooves on the rotor surface
-Dark-colored deposits on the rotor surface
How long will it take to replace the rear brake pads and rotors on a Volvo P1 C30?
-A safe estimate for completing a pad and rotor change, as well as a fluid flush, would be around two and a half hours. Depending on the condition of the parts and the tools you have at your disposal, it could take more or less time.
How much will it cost to replace the rear brake pads and rotors on a Volvo P1 C30?
-Having this job done by a Volvo certified professional can cost nearly $400. Buying parts from the dealership is always more expensive than buying from a parts retailer like us. On top of the increased cost of parts, you’ll have to pay for the labor.
-If you buy the rear brake job kit we’ve put together, you’ll be spending much less than half of what the dealership would charge you. We use parts from the same suppliers as Volvo themselves, so you’ll be getting the same parts at a better price.

Good work, and nice video! Btw., I too have a Volvo, but the S40, which is exactly the same car as the C30 from underneath. You mentioned that the ware on the rotors and pads was uneven, I bet the handbrake needed to go up several clicks too before it engaged to make a safe grip. That's because you have to reset the caliper piston while replacing the pads, many people don't know this, including your car's previous owner I believe, otherwise the ware would have been even. To reset the piston along with the handbrake mechanism during a brake/rotor job: - Slacken the handbrake cables by undoing the 10mm nut situated under the handbrake lever untill there is no more tension on the cables. (done from inside the car) - On each wheel side, release the handbrake cable from its mechanism on the caliper by grabing it's cap with forceps and pull to maneuver it out of its slot. (Looking at your rusty cables, you may need to replce those) - Now work the mechanism lever like a pair of scissors with you hand, or a tool if you find it too tough, or you could unmount the coil spring which makes it much easier to pump the lever, but that coil spring is a PITA to remount afterwards without a proper tool, and as you pump the lever by any means watch the brake piston expand outwards, continue to work the lever until the piston rubber boot is fully extended: ONLY now should you start pushing it back all the way in by applying pressure and simultaneously turning clockwise like you did in your vid. - And now your piston along with the handbrake mechanism are reset! After everything is reassembled, pump the brake pedal. The End 😁

Thank you and very well timed. I'm about to do this job on my winter-stored C30, anticipating emergency brake mechanism issues. The comment by Ghassan is very good to know, After 52+ years of Volvo ownership and DIY repairs, you're never too old to learn. I wonder why you bled the brake line after the rotor replacement? I never have done that except if I was replacing the caliper. BTW, I'm lucky to have a set of the piston retraction tools and a pressured bleeder - my daughter is 48 years young.

9:47 the carrier bracket on my V50 had 1/2" hex head screws (12.5mm, not 13). Discovered it the hard way, measuring on the new fasteners (roughly $10 each at Volvo). Well, at least now I have a nice set of screw extractors in my tools collection ;-) Otherwise they're perfectly standard M10, in case you might want to clean up the threads in the carrier with a tap. The brake hose has a 3/8"-24NF thread, but takes a metric 14mm wrench to undo. Someone at FoMoCo must have had a bad night before they designed this brake system.

@Saw006 3 ай бұрын

Wrong information above for the hose thread. Borrowed a 3/8" tap and die from work, and discovered this morning that the die does not fit the hose. So that thread is most likely M10x1, which is about 5% larger than 3/8-24NF.

Great video as always. Can you please make a video for dummies where you actually show the jacking points underneath the C30/V50, and where you should not jack.

@Dux96 Жыл бұрын

@@fcpeuro Paused the video when it talked about a center jack point to see how many comments flagged doing that - but only this comment. Does rear center point also apply for C70s? And did you make on P1 Volvo jackpoints? (can't find it) Forums and other videos seem insistent has to be at side pinch seams near tires one at a time, not to mention pain getting stand right up to the jack. How you did it looks way easier

@Saw006 3 ай бұрын

On my V50 I use the same technique as shown in this video. Put the jack right in the middle of the rear axle. The exhaust muffler sits rear of it and slightly lower, so I use a hockey puck between the jack and the axle. This way the jack's arm doesn't touch the muffler. Jack, puck and axle are all about the same size. My jack has a mechanical safety so I don't use jack stands. Been doing this twice a year to swap winter and summer wheels for the past 6 years, saved a bit of time doing it this way. The rear bumper should be closer to the axle on the C30 so that helps if your jack is a bit shorter like the one used in this video. Not sure about the C70s

Mine is rusting the same way. I tried replacing the rear end links but they were so rusted to themselves I had to take it to a shop to get them cut off with a torch. I'd love to see a video that shows replacing the hubs and the brake shields!
