Pre-88??? Could be sticking Emergency Brake, not Cable!

If you own a pre-1988 900, and your experiencing the emergency brake not releasing properly, causing your front brakes to drag, you're probably have this common problem.
The bushing where the handbrake lever enters the indirect piston can become corroded, preventing the brake from releasing properly.
Check the link, below, to Saabnet's FAQ section on this issue. A bushing replacement kit is only $12-15 from the dealer, and not too tough for the DIY'er. It fixed my old '84 900's problem years ago.
