Bleeding Volvo 240 - Brake Caliper, Discs and Pads for Ruby 

"Heavier than a baby" now an official scientific unit of measurement

The Guy turns up....you give the English bobby look....ello ello ello...wot do we ave ere then ?. Priceless. Work on mate.

i love how you post whenever i need to fix something specific on my 240

Miss the 240 videos, im watching the old ones like 4 th time lol

Wow, Ruby is going to look awesome, where is the 740 wagon.

Shiny parts are the best, nothing as satisfying to fit to your car. Was waiting for you to reverse into the guy 😂, would've made for an 'interesting' video.

Buying the bleeders that have a check valve in them made single person brake bleeding a breeze. Your method was pure genius. Excellent work.

Square brake pads - LOL!

Hi man ! Would be cool and helpful If you did a video on what to check for before buying different models of volvo, like checking the engine and various parts

The look on your face when that guy pulled in! HAHA I laughed bigly. Where was he even going? It's nice to see that thing stopping with some reliability!

Left front calipers seem to be very hard to find in the states. Only can find remanufactured right side calipers for abs :(

next time use nut wrenches on those brake lines. they'll strip if you use an open ended wrench super easy you got lucky

job well done, Bob :)

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller.... ect. 😁

Totally thought that random guy was going to jump you 😂

Interesting to see Girling calipers without the Girling 'G' and gripping hand logo cast into it.

You need an eze bleed! You have polished more of Ruby!! Looks good. Is the 'inspection' more strict than UK MoT?

fixing volvos with bob ross is my favorite show! Great work man. it's looking great! I need to replace the ABS calipers on my 92 but dang I am cheap, they are super expensive! love your camera work, I need to up my game like this! Hopefully miss involvo'd doesn't watch this and find out you washed the rags in the washer XD

Solid job! There is a problem with front left caliper on my Volvo 245 - the wheel isn't spinning as freely as it should and sometimes on breaking I can hear nasty noise coming out of that wheel. I was thinking about purchasing new caliper from Skandix but as you pointed out in the video it ain't cheap 😔 Now my plan is to restore existing caliper by using Frenkit's repair kit. Thanks for such an informative video, it inspires me to do more jobs on my car by myself without visiting greedy specialists.

Nicely done Sledge love the fluid in the bottle system for bleeding the air out very clever and SHINEY NEW PARTS ARE EPIC

A 'Real' Volvo!

Ha! So great to see new shiny parts! Hope your brake job turns much easier and faster than mine :). Also did the bottle method with great results. Love your vids mate!

i just dove into a brake caliper replacment on my 93 240, been having a time finding the right calipers which are the same as yours , most of them have 2 hose holes on them but as we have abs we only have onee . but the price holy crap

Nicely done. I have never seen anyone pressure bleed bakes that way before. Don’t think I will try it but it had a high entertainment value. Keep up the good work.

New parts day is always an amazing feeling…

A little question, when the brakesystem is empty, does the brakepedal on the 240 actually travel all the way to the floor or does it bottom out in the master cylinder before the pedal hits the floor? After I replaced the brakefluid and bleed the whole system, when the engine is running and I step on the brake pedal, it seems like the pedal is bottoming out in something off of the floor, I can sort of hear and feel a bump, but I am not sure if it is a definitive stop, or if I am still able to move the pedal beyond this point, it at least takes great force at this point. When the engine is not running I never reach this point where i hear /feel the bottoming out.

I know nothing about cars but came here from Sid's channel. Love watching the progress and your enthusiasm is addictive.

Great video 👏👍 xx

Motive Products 0100 is my best friend when bleeding brakes! Good to see her moving again!

I may have missed something, but the brakes on a 240 are a split triangle arrangement. That would mean starting with the right rear, then right front, left front on that system, the left rear, right front, left front on the second system. The other thing is with the colour of that brake fluid, you really need to flush the system completely. Last time I did that, it required 17 litres of fluid to accomplish. Also, looks like your front wheel bearings are due for a repack. In another month I will be replacing the front wheel bearings. The one side has a bit of play. Do that with the spring tire change. Can't complain, since the bearings have never been done, and Arthur's next service will be his 615,000 kilometer one.

So look forward to seeing this progress, good work man.
