  Q: How to remove and refit the rear brake disc and handbrake shoes on Stub Axle on Volvo S70?

  A:

  To remove the rear brake disc and the handbrake shoes on the applicable side, start by tapping off the hub cap and undoing the rear hub nut to remove the hub and bearing assembly from the stub axle. Next, undo the retaining bolt to take the ABS wheel sensor out the back of the stub axle without disconnecting the wheel sensor connection. Remove the brake backplate with two handbrake shoe retaining clips by undoing four bolts, and remove the brake backplate gasket, making sure that you get a new one if it is damaged. Then, remove the centre console and, from inside the car, remove the circlip to withdraw the handbrake cable operating segment from the handbrake lever shaft to disconnect the handbrake inner cable end piece from the segment. At the stub axle end, pull the inner cable out a little and disconnect the cable from the handbrake shoe expander by sliding the end piece of the cable out of the expander sleeve. Undo 4 bolts to remove stub axle from rear suspension trailing arm, note that new bolts will be required for refitting, twist handbrake cable plastic guide sleeve back and forth to release as stub axle is being withdrawn. For refitting, be sure that the stub axle and the trailing arm mating faces are clean, locate the stub axle in position, and feed the handbrake cable through it and push the guide sleeve fully into position. Tighten the new bolts on the stub axle incrementally in a progressive diagonal order and to the given torque, then tighten to the given angle. Connect handbrake inner cable to brake shoe expander, re-connect handbrake cable to operating segment and fit the segment to the handbrake lever shaft and lock with the circlip. Refit centre console then find the brake backplate on the stub axle with new gasket if needed, fit the 4 bolts and 2 handbrake shoe retaining clips, tightening the bolts to the specified torque. Make sure the ABS wheel sensor and stub axle location is clean before fitting the sensor back and putting it in the retaining bolt. Finally, reassemble the rear hub and bearing assembly, lubricate the threads of the hub nut and tighten it according to the specification while tightening it through the specified angle before fitting the hub cap and the handbrake shoes and the rear brake disc.
