You did not follow the recommended procedure on bleeding for your model of Saab. The system is split diagonally not front & rear. 1st bleed lft rr then rt frt, then rt rr then lft front. If the caliper is not leaking fluid it is probably ok. Place a block between the pads to keep the pistons in place & try to blow compressd air through it from brake line opening via bleeder to clear possible blockage/crud. Recommend a rag over the opening where fluid will exit & do it away from anything you value. Brake fluid is nasty. After bleeding & still no brake I would suspect the master cylinder. Utilise ONLY Dot 4 brake fluid (Castrol recommended).
