Heidi: The problem you mentioned seems to be fairly common on Saabs of recent vintage, and I suggest that when the wheel is off,he should wire brush the inside flange of the wheel, as well as the mating surface where it fits on the brake rotor. this is where the problem is that prevents the wheel from coming off when you need it to( like for a flat tire change). The actual wheel bolts are going to come off, and will not prevent you from wheel removal, but the flange area will. Anti seize compound applied after wire brushing will take care of this. Cannot hurt to do the wheel bolts as well, but they are not your biggest concern, the mounting flange is.
