1998 V70XC Rear Brake Pads

Post by Carboncopy »

Hi all,

I am about to replace my rear brake pads and wanted to check a few things out first. First off, the pads are the ones with springy pieces at the top of the pad correct? Second, is there anything really different procedure wise from replacing a normal V70s rear brakes? I have watched Robert DIYs video, just curious if anything was really that different aside from the pads.

Thanks in advance for the help :D

They are normal looking pads with the spring at the top not the pins. They should be no different than doing the front.
