    I'm changing front Calipers on a 1999 2WD S70. I was thinking the
    Bleeding Process would be pretty straight forward but a friend of mine
    said that you needed to use a pressure bleeder for Volvos and that it
    was a difficult job. I've Bleed a lot of brakes the old fasion way -
    but it's been a while.

    Perhaps he was talking about a different model - this has a single
    brake line, single cylinder in the caliper and does not look that
    challenging.

    I'm getting a Haynes Manual today and perhaps that will anwer the
    question but I thought I would post this to see if anyone has had
    problems with this job.

    BTW - I already have the Rotors off - I know that has been a
    difficulty in the past and I appreciate the previous posts and
    information on that subject.

    Thanks for any information that you can give me.
