Re: 9-3 brake rotor

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.

 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.
