I know this general subject has come up several times, and I've got the Townsend site info, however.... how do I get the 14mm plug out of the caliper so that I can get to the allen screw that controls the handbrake adjustment? the plug on my 92 seems to be almost a part of the caliper (seriously rusted in place?) not something as easily removed as the cap on the caliper slide pins. I haven't been able to get/force anything between the plug and the caliper body to spring it out. does this task usually result in the need to replace the plug? (is it wise to have a couple on hand before begining, especially since I don't have a Saab dealer within 300 km!) any knowledgeable suggestions as to how to do this "properly" will be thankfully received. Thanks.... Guy
