    Are the front and rear pads on a 98 S70 the very same thing or completely
    different animals?

    Thanks.

    Completely different. The rears are much smaller, a different shape, and
    held in by an entirely different method.

    But both are a breeze to change....

    In an earlier contribution to this discussion,
    They're not that difficult - but that wasn't the question.

    Two things to watch when changing the front pads.
    1. There is a very strong wire clip on the side of the calliper which is
    fairly easy to get off - but not quite so easy to put back on. [I made a
    hooked tool to assist]
    2. Removing the calliper bolts requires a 7 mm Allen key - which is a size
    *not* found in many sets!
