I need to change the front brake hoses on my S60 D5 2003.
Can any body please tell me how's the best way to go about it? I know the old school way of bleeding the brakes with someone in the car with engine running. But was interested to know if there is any tips as to were to clamp of brakes to stop fluid leaking while I change them? and is there anything else I should do?
I have allready had the brake fluid changed at Volvo on last service, so that's OK.

top up redervoir to the top , get some thick polythene between the reservoir cap and reservoir and screw the cap down, it will stop the air getting in and hence stop fluid running ut whilst you change the hoses .
