Hi, Nick44
That's exactly the article I was looking for. Thought I'd have a look at the rear shoes ('04 V70 134k) as the passenger side wheel occasionally emits a scraping / squealing sound for a few seconds and then goes quiet. I'm wondering if there's a tad of rust that gets between the shoe and the drum and then clears itself? Anyway, looking at my 'trusty' Haynes manual, it says I need new bolts for the calliper bracket..... new bolts on an Easter Sunday? Somehow, I don't think my local Volvo dealer (Kastner) is going to be open! In your opinion, are new bolts really necessary; it's not like they're shear bolts? Also wondered if your 'how to' photographs are still available? I can't seem to find them within the post. Questions questions!
Thanks for your time reading this and I hope you may be able to help.
