As Ed suggested, these are all jobs you can do. At least I have. It makes things easier if you have the Haynes manual, but that isn't necessary either. IMHO, don't go to a parts store for brake pads. If you don't mind the dust, use Saab replacement pads. Or get them from one of the Site advertisers. I got pads (front and rear) from The Brake Warehouse, they fit perfectly!
Tool needed: jack and jack stands for brake work. Of course, when I did mine the first time I used the emergency jack; but do as I say not as I do!!!
front brakes: 8mm allen head socket (I think that's the size), 3/8" drive socket wrench, screwdriver to remove retaining spring, channel lock pliers or c-clamp to push piston in.
Rear brakes: pin punch or screwdriver to remove locating pins, hammer, screwdriver to push pistons in.
Serpentine belt: 1/2" drive socket wrench to release tensioner, pin punch or scrwedriver to hold tensioner.
Pulleys: suitable sized socket or closed end wrench.
Spark plugs: the car comes with a tool kit for the spark plugs, standard size plug wrench works too.
Cabin filter: 13mm socket to remove wiper arms.
Fuel filter: flat screwdriver. remove fuel pump fuse and run the engine until it dies, this removes fuel pressure from the line.
Any other questions, just ask.
