It is pretty straight forward. Except that you can not use a C-clamp to back out the piston as you do on other cars without doing what's described below. You need to remove a cap screw for the hand brake adjustment screw. After removing the cap screw, use a 4mm allen wrench to back out a screw as far as you can. Then you can compress the piston.
Otherwise it is nothing different from brakes in any other car.
Every time you pull the hand brake, the action advances a lever which turns the screw with the allen wrench head, which in turn advances the piston to squeeze the brake disc.
The rear brake caliper assembly on a SAAB is very well engineered, compared to other cars.
