Re: 1999 v70 xc rear passenger hard brake line

Thanks Scott, I planned on re-bubble flaring the pipe as there is a little room I hoped to use. I got an average priced tool $45, a piece of scrap pipe from the pick n pull and tried till the tool broke. Not once did I get close to screwing the head all the way down.
Ozark the pipes I've seen for ...

1999 v70 xc rear passenger hard brake line

So I got some braided hoses and was able to swap them all out other than the rear passenger one which is so rounded I didn't even bother trying to remove it.
Plan on replacing the line, I was told I have to drop the gas tank and rear diff to run a new line, is that true? From the look of this ...

Re: 99 xc70 rear girling caliper rebuild kit

So I had a test drive today, rotor was def warped. Much better now, that said I can hear a pad dragging on the new rotor at slow speeds. Its nothing like when it was warped but maybe the ebrake needs more adjusting. For some reason I think its the inside caliper pad, I'll take a look as soon as I ...

Re: 99 xc70 rear girling caliper rebuild kit

So I did the work today. As I thought in the first place, my car was missing both the back 10mm rotor wheel locator bolt 133027.

I jacked the car up on stands.
Took the parking brake off.
Loosened the parking brake at the handle ie center console.
Took the wheel off, leave one bolt in loose so ...

Re: 99 xc70 rear girling caliper rebuild kit

I have a Haynes manual but it doesn't cover the awd version of the 99 V70XC.
Not found much that helps online but I'm guessing the wheel holds the rotor on. So I was thinking I'd
remove the wheel
remove caliper and hanger
back off the handbrake from inside (center console)
Attack with a hammer.

Any ...

Re: 99 xc70 rear girling caliper rebuild kit

So had a look at the job today and was stumped straight away by the rear rotor. Whats holding it on? I can't see a locator bolt on the rotor so I tried removing the other rear wheel to check and again no obvious bolt. How do you get these rotors off?

BTW I know I don't need to remove the rotors to ...

Re: 99 xc70 rear girling caliper rebuild kit

@ cn90 They must be different, had no problems when replacing the hose. Not the best design but I managed to free the line/hose without any damage to the heads.

@ burnout You seem to be the person I wish was at the end of every call I made regarding the calipers and differences in years. Thanks for ...

Re: 99 xc70 rear girling caliper rebuild kit

When I 1st got the car I replaced a hose and all the pads, the calipers at the back are def Girling whether they are meant to be or not.

Not sure I'm ready to risk if a universal seal kit from OReilys fits. Probably rather just get another caliper if its that hard to get the correct seal kit.

I ...
