Replacement of Brake Pads and Discs

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

Loosen the wheel fastening bolts on the front wheels before lifting the vehicle and complete the disassembly after raising it. Then remove the fastening bolts of the brake caliper after removing the protective caps; then detach the retaining spring of the pads and remove the caliper and the pads themselves. Using a C-clamp, retract the caliper piston to accommodate the new pads. Next, remove the fastening bolts of the caliper bracket and take it off; then unscrew the fixing screw of the disc to the hub and remove the disc to apply the new one. Clean the bracket of any dirt residue and reattach it to the hub; finally, insert the new pads, the caliper (after lubricating the bolts), and the retaining spring.
