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.

You can bleed the brakes the old fasion way!
No problem!
Just remember to bleed the WHOLE system.
