Took me longer to find the rotors. All of the Chicago Saab dealers were out of rotors!!! Between doing brakes on my BMW and Volvo I had the parts. This is the first time I got to use my impact wrench. I used it on the caliper mounting bolts and it came off with no problem. I know about those Torx. I guess Torx was invented for automation in factories is what I hear. I spent 5 hours taking off a previously stripped one on my volvo's thermostat housing. The part that actually gave me the worst trouble were the glide pins. They were caked with crude and wouldn't slide back out of the caliper. I cleaned them up and greased them with WD-40. Thanks for everyones help.
