Friends,
Last Friday, a gentleman asked if it was really necessary to use a Volvo trained mechanic to replace the brake pads on his 240, or if he could trust a nearby brake specialist mechanic. My and others' reply was that there was no reason for not doing it himself. But as with a lot of things, this is a job you know is very easy if you have done it once. But if you haven't, you might be intimidated by the fact that this is your lifesaving brakes, and that you don't know what challenges you will face once the wheel is off.

So when I replaced my front rotor and pads yesterday, I also took a few pictures and hastily put up a web site, hoping it might be useful to others. But as I do not want to mislead anyone, I would be very grateful for comments and possible corrections before I link to it from my main 240 site. Language corrections are welcome too, it is embarrassingly obvious that I'm struggling with a language not my own.

Here's the link: http://home.no.net/ebrox/Brakes.htm

Thanks,
Erling.
