by bleeding the breaks. their is a brake bleeder screws on each wheel. have a friend pump the breaks 3 times and than hold the pedal to the floor. once pedal is on the floor open the bleeder up and let the air out untill u have nothing but fluid come out. repeat if nessessary. than tighten bleeder back up and have the person releast the break. do this for each tire. start at farthest tire, pass side rear tire and work your way to the front.

Why do my brakes vibrate so bad when I stop on my 1997 Volvo 850?

Vibrating brakes are almost always a symptom of worn rotors. When the rotor wears down, or has grooves, the brake pad can no longer make a flush connection with the rotor. This will cause the caliper (which holds the brake pad) to move in and out as it tries to establish a flush connection with the rotor. The rapid movement of the caliper is what causes your brake pedal to vibrate.

Why does the bleeder on brakes need to be on top of the caliper?

The most important use for the bleeder valve is to remove air from the braking system. As air rises and will not flush out of a bleeder mounted low on the brake the bleeder needs to be at the top.
