V60 Rear brake pad retainer sliding pins

Toprivetguns · Mar 24th, 2020, 20:47

Can anyone help me locate parts. I'm in search of a kit to replace the sliding pins on the rear brake pad retainers. Volvo said they only supply the whole retainer with bolts and pins. Surely they are available individually ?

Thanks.

Although prob not as you’d have seen these already I guess!

Still looking at the rear brake scrape issue?

The pins just 'pop' out, so easy to check. I suppose if the bores are worn and the pins wobble excessively, then you might need a new carrier.
Just did the rear pads on my XC60 at 30k, and as new. Wipe clean and a smear of high temperature silicone grease and back in.
If it helps, my rear pads were clearly marked TRW as well as Volvo, so probably a more common part than you would think!

The issue was a rounded bolt, which played ball in the end. I was just preparing for worst case scenario if I had to cut or totally annihilate the bolt head. Fortunately some heat and patience removed it.

In regards to the brake scrape I have come to the conclusion its an inherent part of the design. I have driven two other V60s and the scrape still exists.
