Sounds to me like the caliper on the side with the uneven wear is binding somehow. I'd suggest a rebuild of the caliper. It's a cheap thing to do with respect to parts. A good deal of labor however. > 2) She doesn't have enough space between the > piston and the disk to fit anything substantial in to > rotate the piston back.

You could gain the space required to turn the piston back in by removing the caliper. Again, a simple thing to do but fairly labor intensive. Where are you (she) located? If the gods were smiling upon you you would be in the vicinity of Orange County NY. If so I would be happy to do the job...CHEAPLY. Chances are you're far away. Anyway that's what you'd need to do so good luck. PS- Don't go to a dealer. Find an independant Saab mechanic. Duane
