Rear brake caliper bracket
 

Hi
thinking of putting rear brake adjusters on my2012 XC90 according to Haynes manual the bolts are supposed to be stretch bolts I asked at my local Volvo agent and as far as he knew they are normal bolts that are loctited and torqued up
anybody else come across this apparently its the same for front caliper bracket bolts but obviously bigger bolts

thanks Mick

Front and back require new bolts not expensive from Volvo ...thats whats recomended
I

Recommended but no often done
 

Yep, recommended new bolts, but when I checked with two dealers they never change them and don't have problems. I didn't change mine as it caused a delay but will next time.
However no problems apparent either.

No problem with new bolts but are they stretch bolts or standard bolts I have done dozens of disc changes on Land rover /Toyota/ Renault /Ford/Vauxhall and none have been stretch bolts they only hold the bracket on and can be thread locked again

thats what I thought did you torque them up or toque then stretch them 60 degrees

I have always reused in the past so grateful for this post! Just checked Vida and yes, new bolts plus following torque sequence; like binty I will need to replace mine next time and will keep a regular eye on them.

thanks for replies everybody looks like new bolts need fitting will be a first for me but volvo must have a reason for it
