There is a SAAB tool that turns the piston in. Everytime the ebrake is used (or adjusts, I can't remmeber which) the piston is turned outward, this keeps the play out of the pads (pad closer to rotor). When new pads are put in you have to turn the piston back in. You may be able to do this with a pair of circlip pliers, but the saab tool works best. There are 4 holes in the piston that the tool fits into, then just turn it back in (its threaded) and the pads will fit in easily. Maybe someone else can help with the 2nd step of adjusting the ebrake (I never got mine adjusted well on my 86)
