At first, I was annoyed that Saab would use an unusual sized tool for that, but I'm thinking that it's to keep the casual "Let's just fiddle around with it" people from doing things to their brakes that they didn't understand. Now that I don't have that car anymore, though, I can't imagine ever needing that particular tool again. But, of course, I'll keep it ;) Dave
