Hello, I see you replaced your damaged Caliper with new one. Did you buy Volvo's own make or did you buy some other model?
I have had rear brake problem already 4 times and they have been Caliper seizing, handbrake disintegrating, pads coming off etc which has cost me already over £3000. So, I have been wandering if anyone has experienced with other model brake system and are they more durable then Volvo.

Grab a respectably sized hammer, remove the plastic/rubber cap and tw@t the top of said stubborn nipple a couple of times, then remove using a spanner of the appropriate size.
If you take it to a garage, this is what they will do
