I just did this maintenance on my very early '99 9-5 (VIN 300209, build date 11/97) and it is very easy to do. I ordered the Saab pads and Brembo rotors from a saabnet site sponsor, and the total came to around $120.
You just remove the wheels, drive out the two caliper pins, pull out the retaining clip, pull out the pads, take out two bolts that hold on the caliper, remove the hold screw on the rotor, remove the rotor. Takes about 15 minutes. Reverse the order and it is back together in no time. Took me about 1 hour total.
I'd bet that $500 at a dealer is for pad replacement only!
