Replacement of Rear Brake Discs and Pads

Model: Saab 9 3 MK 2 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Brake rotors

Lift the vehicle on a lift or with a jack (in the latter case, apply axle stands for safety). Remove the wheel and the brake caliper from its support and the support itself (the fixing pins are located at the rear). Then unscrew the fixing pin of the disc on the hub and remove it. Clean the hub of any oxide residues and apply the new disc, tightening the respective fixing pin. Secure the caliper support, apply the new pads, and then the caliper and the pad retaining spring. Finally, reattach the wheel and pump the brake pedal until it offers the correct resistance.
