V70 2008 front brake pad/caliper types

[Paul Bearer]

Hi all

I have a V70 Diesel estate 2008

Last year an advisory on the MOT was for pads, so I bought some shortly after to be ready for when needed

For various reasons it was a low mileage year but set out now to replace the pads before the next MOT

I have changed many pads on various cars in the past but not this car so I watched several youtube videos on changing the pads, I thought I had it nicely worked out and set out today to fit said pads

However on removing the wheels (17" alloys) I find calipers different to those in various videos

The outer retaining clip looks different to all I found on the V70, the nearest I found the same as mine was on an S60 2012

As the caliper looked different I didn't strip it any further, on rechecking the pads for my model the catalogue suggests the one type, but there are two

Eurocarparts online shows one type for Brake system 16" and the other for brake system 16" & 17"

I assume they mean 16" wheels and 17" wheels?

So I suspect I have the wrong type of pads as I have the 16"

Am I right in thinking there is no need to split the caliper?

Backing off the two 7mm sliders will free the caliper to change the pads ?

This was the video with the same or very similar calipers to mine
