brake fluid and keep your brake res in the car full as you bleed fluid off at the wheel. Hmm... still don't get it? Look under 'Brake parts' on eEuroparts.com for either of your model Saabs. They sell for ~$50. Or do a google of Motive Pressure Bleeder, and you'll get their website and another source for the bleeder.
Bleeding the brake fluid is an every two year maintenence. Important, because our Dot 4 brake fluid has an affinity for water from the air, and it tends to collect at the wheel cylinder. Two bad things can happen, the cylinder can rust and become useless, and the water can boil at high brake temps making steam which in not nearly as compressable as brake fluid. That makes for bad stops.
My indy used to charge $70 to bleed all 4 wheels and the clutch. It costs about $10-15 for a liter of brake fluid, so the Motive paid for itself the first time I used it.
