How to change rear wheel hub and brake shield to Volvo V70 08-16, S60, V60 10-17, S80 06-16

In this guide, we change the rear wheel hub of the type unit bearing, Hub Unit. This means that the wheel hub comes in a complete part with seals. Hub unit wheel bearings are greased from the factory and are very easy to replace yourself as neither press tools nor additional wheel bearing grease are needed. This guide is for V70 08-16, S60, V60 10-17, S80 06-16 rear with front wheel drive.

We have wheel bearings and wheel hubs for V70, XC70, S60, S80, XC60, 740 and more models - safe guarantees and fast deliveries.

On this link, we have collected all the brake shields we sell to Volvo.
Brake pads are popular to replace in connection with the replacement of brake discs or wheel bearings.
Brake shields are not required to get approved at the inspection, but are something that many Volvo owners still want to change to keep the car's brake functions in the best condition.

Plug iCarsoft into the OBD2 socket. In the iCarsoft menu, select:

1. Volvo
2. Diagnosis - Brake
3. Manual Select
4. Which car model you have
5. Wait for it to finish

Switch off the ignition on the car

Remove the brake caliper; Gently push back the caliper piston. On the back are two bolts that must be unscrewed to loosen the entire caliper and holder

Hang the caliper with a cable tie or something else next to it so that it does not fall down and damage the brake hose

Remove the screw that holds the brake disc and remove the brake disc

Unscrew the four bolts that sit from behind and hold the wheel hub in place. (Torx 55) (Tip! Clean the threads you see on the front before unscrewing them)

Remove the old wheel hub and brake shield, loosen the connector to the ABS sensor. You may need to hit gently with a hammer to loosen the wheel hub

Clean the surface that the brake shield will be against

Then apply copper paste.

Remove the ABS sensor from the old wheel hub to move to the new one. (NOTE: Do not use tools that are magnetic, as they may be demagnetized in the hub)

Pick up the new wheel hub and mount the old ABS sensor there

Hold the brake shield and wheel hub against the car

Screw back the bolts so that the shield + bearing is secure. The bolts must be screwed on with 110 newton meter

When the wheel hub is in place, the brake disc must be refitted. Start by cleaning the brake disc and place copper paste on the wheel hub
