use a C clamp
yes
You will need to push the caliper piston back as well as rotated when you are replacing your rear brake pads. The caliper will need to be turned clockwise.
The rear pads are similar to a late model volvo. Jack up and remove the rear wheels. With a large spike nail or small drift pin remove the two horizontal pins the go thru the caliper and brake pads. With a plier grab the brake pad, wiggle and pull out of the rear of the caliper. Insert the new pads, install drip pins and you ar done. You may need to insert and prior the old pads against the caliper to push the piston back for more space to insert the new pads.
Jack your truck up, take your tires off, and look at the brakes, you can usually see them. if not you need to take the piston housing off that pushes the brake pads against the rotor. another clue that your brake pads are worn is your brake fluid. if its low it usually means your pads are worn (the more you have to push on the brakes to get the pads to push on the rotor the more fluid is used) Jack your truck up, take your tires off, and look at the brakes, you can usually see them. if not you need to take the piston housing off that pushes the brake pads against the rotor. another clue that your brake pads are worn is your brake fluid. if its low it usually means your pads are worn (the more you have to push on the brakes to get the pads to push on the rotor the more fluid is used)
Remove the two pins going through the pads. Pull out the old pads, push in the piston and install new pads, replace pins with the clips.
you need to use a rear brake caliper piston turning tool... you can't use the push method... the piston have to be turned as they screw out as the pads wear. i found out the hard way.. i broke 2 c-clamps...
use a large c clamp and push the piston back in, just be sure to not over fill you master brake cylinder because you will be pushing more fluid into it.
You have to have a air compressor to do it. Take an air gun and insert it in the hole on the caliper were the brake line goes to it. Then take the piston in one hand and start it in the caliper while you are blowing air into it and the air will push the rubber boot out around the piston as you push the piston in. It is alittle trickey, But that's how you do it.
When installing new pads, push piston into cylinder body by gently turning piston clockwise,with long nose pliers, or suitable tool
They need to be wound back in, using a special tool, a G-clamp also work to push it back, with the rotating part on the caliper piston.
Remove the wheel, and brake assembly (4 bolts on back of calipers) be sure to hang the brake piston so that it does not hang by the brake line, remove the rotor, clean and inspect all parts including brake pads. Open the brake fluid resivoir, get a c-clamp or a piston depressor to push the brake piston back in. This should take about 15 seconds to SLOWLY push the piston in. Re-assemble brakes and repeat on other side.
To replace the front brake pads on a 2004 Volvo V70, you will need a brake caliper tool to compress the caliper piston. This tool helps to push the piston back into the caliper housing, allowing for easier installation of the new pads. Additionally, a socket set, a torque wrench, and possibly a brake cleaner are recommended for the job.
