Just done the job today on the 2004 S60, thanks for the guide. The lower brake shoes looked a little rusty and the braking material was in the first stages of coming off!!! Just got my V70 (older) to do next weekend - should I replace the springs also, in particular the smaller spring at the front of the shoes - cam you buy them from volvo?
Good price from eurocar parts for the brakes as well. regards rg |

More thanks for the great write up and pics.
My trusted mechanic will do the job for £60.00 labour. I've bought Mintex shoes = £24.00 from Ebay but have found Pagid shoes from Europarts = £18.20 Decision time - £60.00 or a DIY job (my work is quiet atmo) Decisions!

Rang my trusty mechanic and he kindly told me to give the front of the drum part of the disc a really hard whack with a copper hammer and the disc will burst off. I never had a copper hammer but had a few old brake pads so placed one of them on the disc, lining side to the disc's brake drum front face and gave it a few good good welts with a hammer. Nothing happened. On the point of giving up I took one last heavier swipe and bingo, off it sprang!!!! Other side was a doddle once edumacated. Had a bit of trouble with the springs but won and now the job's a good 'un. MOT pass 1 hour later. BTW - all the linings had left the shoes but only were 2 retrieved, the other 2 went awol.

Does anyone have a clear pic of where the spring in the centre of the hub goes? I have just done the rear discs on mine and noticed although shows were still intact, one has a crack in. Waiting for shoes to arrive. Centre spring seemed to stick out from the hub and did not look as though it was connected to anything! Think it was Only the two springs either side holding shoes together....any ideas? Cheers

when changing the rear brakes in my 960 which is a very similar setup as the old 240 as well i fitted a large hose clip over the shoes once in position to hold them secure while i put the rest of the springs on its a third hand that never gets tired and makes the job so easy
