Great, thanks for this. I'll hopefully get the parts early next week.l and get it done.

Did you disconnect the epb motors when removing them ?

I left the cable socket connected but removed the motor from the caliper very easy job.

Thanks again. I had a look at this today, but aborted when I couldn't get my Allen socket in to remove the epb screws without taking the cage off.

I couldn't seem to release the cage enough to get into the spline without disconnecting the connector.

I've read some people have issue post replacement, so my bottle has went a bit.....

I wouldn't mind having the car off the road for a little while but my old S60 has just failed its Mot so can't afford to have 2 cars off the road.

Just replaced mine this morning - the nearside EPB assembly was a nightmare to get off but other than that pad replacement went fine. Only issue I came across after I'd put everything back together was dash showing 'parking brake not fully released' - probably because living on a bit of a slope I had to turn the car round after doing the offside. Easy to reset the module - hold the parking brake button up when you restart the car. All good now
