Hi,
Time for a brake job for wife's 2001 9-5 2.3 lpt sedan. I've done brake job on BMW before but not Saab. Gonna be a brand new territory but hopefully not too different. BTW, I've ordered a Haynes manual just last night...
Questions are:
* will the Haynes manual be sufficient for rotors & pad replacement? Any other additional info should I need ?
* Brake flush - is it coveered in the Haynes manual? Where else can I get additonal DIY info on this job?
Originally I planned ot have it done by the dealership but they quoted my $1150 (front/rear rotors & Pads + flush, a 4 hours job... wow, waaaay more than I expected, hence take the diy route.
Any insight or additional hints for doing a brake job on a Saab will be MUCHO apreciated ! Tks!
