S/V 70 AWD E-brake. Any requests for a how to?

Post by scot850 »

I'm just about to start a quick check over of the E-brake on my 2000 V70R. I think it just needs adjusted, but I plan to strip the rotors and get in and lube whatever needs lubed, and then refit, adjust and replace the wheels. The AWD is a little trickier than the FWD, but it is basically the same. I have no need to pull the center console to do this job, but will be pulling it anyway to replace the 12V plug in. So I can show the routing of the cables.

Has anyone got any particular requests for pictures or info before I embark? If I don't get any questions, then I'll still do the write up.

Please do. To the best of my knowledge we don't have a writeup on the AWD parking / emergency brake and the cable entrance and the actuator are substantially different than the FWD version.
