I just installed Brembo discs front and back on the Volvo and Brembo pads on the front and Bosch on the rear.

It took a ridiculous amount of force to get the wheel bolts loose and after installing them and torquing them at 80Nm A week later I wanted to take my Alu wheels of again for a respray and again it took much more force.
I suspect that the wheel bolts are seizing with the Alu wheel so I greased the bolts a bit on the thread and where it sits on the wheel with the High temp graphite lubricant.

I am also unable to get proper 3M style silicone paste here in France.

I got this Facom Silicone spray grease and high temp Graphite grease instead of the copper grease shown in this video.

I hope the high temp Graphite grease will work for the brake pads.
(To allow them to move more easily without causing problems)

That is actually the groove that brake pads have from the factory off but nearly worn away.
