Boy can I confirm that! Posted by Saabpilot [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Car sitting 18 months - any potential problems ?, Richard Cooper, Wed, 20 Sep 2006 14:27:22 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I just picked up an '86 900 turbo that it turns out was sitting for over 2 years (it's for sale in the Classifieds by the way).
The front brakes might as well have been welded. It took me over an hour (yes, an hour) to get the left side pads out of the caliper and on the right side the pads were so bad I had to remove the caliper bolts and beat the caliper off with a small sledge hammer.
Since I believe the 99 calipers are the same cruddy sliding yoke design, I'd expect to do some caliper replacement and be happy if you end up not having to!
Good luck!
