	Who cares? As this group that helps to encourage the DIY, it is importatnt that the advice here is fairly accurate. Opening the bleed screw would POSSIBLY allow contaminants into the brake system. Which in my opinion, would be more harmful than the possibility that the ABS valves might be damaged. Keeping the closed system closed is the "best" practice IMO. I for one appreciate your input and suggestion. I read it and thought it through logically and do not find it to apply in this situation. On other cars it might. We all care. Some of the posters here have a high and mighty opinion of their advice. Most of us just read and keep quiet. Good luck and happy motoring. \ Mike Teeples / 1990 Saab SPG 125,000 mi 1987 Saab 900 Turbo 175,000 (RIP) 1985 Saab 900 Turbo 275,000 (RIP) Please re-read my post - at no point did I say that Saab >requires/advises/recommends my suggestion.

	You're the lone man out as far as SAAB is concerned. May be even for other brand and in general. Everyone I know on all the SAAB discussion group uses a c-clamp to force the piston back. On the rear ones after the screw has been backed out. Sometimes I even use a hammer if I can get leverage between the caliper and the piston shielded by the old pads. Not to pound on it but to pry and force the piston back. I have done it on my C-900 and all of mine 9k's over the years. Had four 9k and currently own three. Not once have I damaged any ABS's. BMW is the same way. It is hard to argue with facts regardless of how theoretically correct your procedure is. I would never open the bleeder to replace brake pads. It invites trouble. I wonder if that is the reason the shop is charging customers more than they should if the practice is kept.
