Answer 4

front or back? disk pads are the same in both cases. you need a torx socket.

remove wheel, there is a metal spring over the outer pad, unclip this. then caliper front is held with 2 tork bars. you must remove a plastic cap from these to undo. front half of caliper then comes off. now loctae 2 bolts 15mm socket holding caliper hanger, undo these and off comes the hanger, fit new pads and replace is revers procedure, the spring is hard to get back in but you must fit it.

Answer 6

I have a 1996 Saab 9000cs and I was replacing the brake pads and calipers I learned this the hard way so hopefuly this helps someone. When you disconnect the brake lines from the calipers remember to crimp the hose before you do it so no air gets back to the master cylinder if you get air in the master cylinder and you have ABS you have to take it to a specialist to bleed the brakes because it has to be done in symotanious order that's where I messed up and it cost me 400 dollars to bleed the stupid brakes. Also remember those calipers when you go to depress them they don't pushs traight down like most other calipers they twist in really weird but very effective I guess. Anyways hope this helps I have done lots of work on my 96 9000cs Turbo so I have lots of input and knowledge about them!
