Funny you should ask, as I was just wondering this same question. Bentley manual as well says to replace 'em. I'm about to do the job on my '89 900S. Someone told me that the OEM Saab pads come with the bolts. So why not replace 'em if you've got new ones? Of course I haven't bought my pads yet, so I can't confirm any of this.
Where'd you get your pads from? Anybody got recommendations? I think the new caliper bolts are worth about $5-6 apiece. So, if OEM Saab pads are, say $10 more than others, and come with the bolts, they're worth it to me.
Maybe overkill to replace the bolts, but those front brakes are pretty important, and we're only talking $10, at least $5 of which you'd spend anyway on the Loctite. What do you all think?
