Parking Brake shoes
Howdy, Today I replaced the parking brake shoes on my 2002 V70 base. The job is pretty much what you'd expect. Of the 4 brake shoes, only one had lining. Fortunately there was no destruction of any part of the hub. My car has 138,000 miles and I'm certain the shoes were original. I want to report that this job can be done by anyone willing to try it. You'll need the 4 shoes, the hardware kit which consists of the 2 retainer springs and 2 return springs and normal supplies. The only "advice" I'd offer is to have a pair of good quality long nose pliers and/or long nose vice grips to hook the heavy return spring in place. All the details have been laid out, with photos, on this board. Kira
