What type of rears do you have?

If you have the new style rear brakes (pads and calipers as viewed through your wheels will look identical to fronts), then the instructions on replacing pads and rotors are the same too. Dean posted a few comments on Sunday regarding the rear parking brakes that you will probably want to read.
If, when viewing your rear calipers through the wheels, you do not see an exposed pad and spring clip then you have the old style. (You will be looking at the back side of a second caliper piston housing rather than the pad and clip)
With the old style you do not need to remove the calipers to replace the pads. The pads can be extracted from the caliper housing after removing two pins (bolts) on the outside edge of the pads. Reach in, pull the old ones out, drop the new ones in, and replace the pins/bolts. Unfortunately they sometimes stick in place and Saab has a special brake pad puller for this situation.
If you are doing rotors too then the calipers need to come off also, just like the fronts.
Caliper bolts (18mm)require 80 ft-lbs of torque, caliper pins (T20 torx)require only 20 ft-lbs (fronts and new style rears). Old style rears may be the same.
