Rear Brake Pads

Garage want to charge £200 to put right.

The CV joint I am not keen on doing myself as I believe the hub has to come off. Should I buy a genuine volvo part and let a garage do it??

But pads should be simple I guess as I have done front pads before.


Is there a guide for the rear brakes, and do I need a wind back tool, or any special tools for this??

Please help?
You do need a wind back tool and a 7mm HEX bit, I think that would be all. It's relatively simple if you get the stuff you need, plenty of videos show how to do it on YouTube and Googling. It has the same rear brakes as a Ford Focus so if you find a guide for a Focus it will be the same.
