98 S70 pads

Feb 05, 2005 3 Replies

Are the front and rear pads on a 98 S70 the very same thing or completely different animals?



Thanks.


Completely different. The rears are much smaller, a different shape, and held in by an entirely different method.

But both are a breeze to change....

They're not that difficult - but that wasn't the question.

Two things to watch when changing the front pads.

  1. There is a very strong wire clip on the side of the calliper which is fairly easy to get off - but not quite so easy to put back on. [I made a hooked tool to assist]
  2. Removing the calliper bolts requires a 7 mm Allen key - which is a size
*not* found in many sets!
