2010 XC70 Jacking Points and Brake job

aisrael · Post by **aisrael** » 16 Apr 2014, 18:51

I have to replace all the brakes on my mother's 2010 XC70. I figured I can use the stock jacking points to lift one wheel at a time but I would like to put the car on stands to do this job.

Where are all the jacking pinots on this car so i can lift the entire rear or the entire front and place the car on stands.

Also, what are the torque specs for the caliper mounting bolts for the fron and rear calipers?

Aaron - Ill look up the specs on my 1999 - they might be different than the 2010 of course, but Ill confess to not even using a torque wrench on these when I do brakes - I tighten by experience.

For my 1999....

Install the locating pins (2) in the brake caliper
Check the rubber sleeves of the locating pins. Replace if necessary.
Lubricate the locating pins using grease, P/N 1161325-4.
Insert the locating pins into the rubber sleeves. The pins should slide into the sleeves easily.
Tighten the locating pins. Tighten to 30 Nm . Install the protective caps and the securing spring (3).
Tighten the brake hose in the caliper. Tighten to 18 Nm

30Nm is about 22ftlbs torque, so 40 pounds of force on a 6 inch ratchet handle. This isn't rocket surgery so get them tight and they will stay.
