Volvo Repair: Rear Rotor Replace, channel lock pliers, rear caliper

Question
I am in the process of replacing my rear rotors on my 2001 v70 2.4 Turbo.  Are there any special tools needed for this job?  Are the rotor bolts in the front or back of the rotor?  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.


Thank You,

Judd Sandstrom

Answer
Judd, there are 2 or 1 10mm bolt holding the rotor on.  The rear caliper bolts are 13mm and there are 2 of them.  No special tools on this one.  Pry the pads back with a screwdriver then use channel lock pliers to push the piston the rest of the way. Just remember to install the outer clamp on correctly when reinstalling.   Roger
