The pre-88 front brakes need a tool with two pegs to turn in a caliper piston. Saab sells one and there are universal tools that fit various pistons. most parts stores will have ethe universal.
Turn the inner pad piston clockwise 1/4 turn at a time and pry the piston in with a screwdriver/lever. You will also have to pull the yoke to open up space for an outer pad. The piston that controls the yoke often seizes. Sometimes you can free it up, but if you can't budge the yoke, it's time for a rebuilt caliper. New pads will slide right in once you get the yoke fre and the piston turned in.
To reduce brake clunk in reverse, bend the U-pin forward while it is about halfway inserted. Then, when you push it all the way in the bend will put some tension on the pads to tighten them up. Also grease the caliper slides with brake grease to further reduce clunking.
