Been working on these types of Fords for a while now. At 18:34 and 18:38 i can see you are able to remove those bolts on ball joint and shock absorber, in my experience to replace a spring on a really rusty exemplar of these cars these are so stuck you either round the head or it just snaps. However the brake disc sandwich at 12:10 is comforting see you experience, that is very common. I call them Pizza brake discs, because i cut them like a cake diagram. What i do when the bolts won't come of or I'm to scared i will spend the next 4 hours just drilling. I loosen the whole suspension arm where the ball joint connects, driveshaft, level sensor, ABS sensor connector, stabilizer link, tie rod, and the top mount of the strut. such a pain but it is better than drilling and faster. Wheel bearing i use the same tool but on the car and not in a press, it is nice to see you do it in another way, I'll keep that noted. Usually i take the driveshaft out and the bolt on the ball joint (if possible) move driveshaft out of the way then i put the spindle back on the ball joint and start screwing the tool and get the wheel bearing out. Note to those people that are perplexed at me calling this "Volvo" a Ford in the beginning i will send you to Wikipedia or Google "Ford EUCD platform" and "Ford Global C-car Platform"

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, very interesting. 👍 Yeah, you can see the Ford logo all over the place on this car! 🤣

Great video as always! I think the idea behind not applying anti-seize under the brake disc is to make sure the brake disc sits evenly on the hub, otherwise this can cause vibration when braking.

@ejoautovideos

8 ай бұрын

Thank you. 😊 In my experience it's actually the opposite, because rust can build up between the rotor and hub causing non-flat runout. The thin layer of anti seize gets evenly squished out from the very high pressure from the lug nuts. The face of the hub has a machined surface with high and low spots from the lathe tool. The anti seize will get squished out from the high spots, making it a near perfect metal to metal contact. However, the voids of the low spots will fill with anti seize, therefore preventing corrosion. 👍

Spindle on the older volvos is super easy :) Just 3 bolts and some hard work and it done. Did it myself a couple weeks ago .)

Just a thought if you ever have this issue again, if you remove the lug nuts and wheel including the set screw on the disc, apply the brakes and "drive" the car (on a lift) it may be enough to break that rust off..

Used sucessfully the "bold tip" on rear disks of my Qashqai+2, I would not have expected such issue on your Volvo 😅

Modern cars with long service intervals, here is the result. I would have chached out the calipers too.

This is unrelated but any chance you can do a video or talk about your lift, how often you use it, and why you picked it, would you buy it again, etc ? Is it a quick jack? Also noticed the wood you added. I’m looking for one and do not need a larger post lift but not sure what to get. Worse part if car work for me is jacking it up Thanks

11:12 In this case mount everything back but without any bolt on disc, so, start engine, put in first gear and release clutch, then push brake and except to release stuck disc.

Been there, felt that pain

I recommend you apply anti seize on all bolt that goes through a bushing as well 😁

Nowadays maximum 10 days per year in road salt and after each time I wash it and keep it in the garage. So mine is nothing like this XC60. I would say it is in remarkable good condition.

depends on where in Sweden they're driven. Up in the North of Sweden we don't salt our roads at all as much as they do in the southern parts of Sweden, so we generally have a lot less rust. Also means cars that have been driven all their life up in the North are generally worth more.
