I think not. > I've replaced rear pads/rotors using the Saab-authorized (Bentley) repair manual, and it makes no mention of damaging the ABS. It recommends bleeding the rear brakes using the ABS pump (which works really well btw), but it instructs you to back the caliper off using the 4mm (?) hex screw (which should, I think, be the same thing as pushing the piston back). I realize the front brakes are a little different, but I've read the procedure and do not remember reading anything about potentially damaging the ABS. (I don't have the book on hand to check at the moment.) John
