The rear brakes on an ABS-equipped saab are bled using the ABS pump. You wouldn't use your pressure bleeder. (You would use it on the front brakes though.)
The process is simple:
Connect some tubing to the bleeder valve on the caliper. (other end in a container to catch the fluid.) Have a helper turn the key to the "run" position (don't start the car though) and depress the brake pedal. This will cause the ABS pump to engage. Loosen the bleeder valve and let fluid flow until it is free of bubbles. Close the bleeder valve, and top off the fluid resivior.
The Bently manual warns against letting the ABS pump run for more than 2 minutes, or without sufficient fluid in the resivior.
Are you just replacing one caliper and rotor, or both? I've always thought it was general practice to replace calipers and rotors in pairs.
