I was informed by my dealer that the XC90 requires the parking brake shoes and rotor to be replaced.

Hi,

Replacing the parking brake shoes really isn't too bad of a job. It is a little more involved simply because the shoes are in the rear of the brake rotor. You will be required to remove the brake pads and the brake rotor to access the parking brake shoes.

Below, I attached pics and directions specific to your vehicle for brake shoe replacement and adjustment.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
