Going to replace the pads on my newly purchased 2000 9-3. Never owed a Saab
before and am wondering if there's anything special I should be aware of.
Thanks!

They're pretty un-remarkable calipers. Torque on the pin-bolts is
28Nm. They need a biggish allen-key (7mm I think, but it could be
8mm), so make sure you have one to fit your torque wrench before you
bother to take the wheels off.

Cheers,

Colin (Who had to put the wheels back on to go and buy the sodding hex
bit).
