This is what I did quite a while ago making sure the e-brake is off:-
1) Jack up the car
2) Remove the wheel
3) Remove the clip that holds the outer brake pad in place
4) Check for the 2 bolts holding the caliper in place, which are on the inner side. Caliper should come off easily after that.
5) Once the caliper is off, go for that small bolt that holds the rotor in place. I'd suggest penetrating fluid for it. You might curse a little should it strip. I can't recall if it was a 10mm wrench I used. I found tapping on the wrench with a light hammer helped loosen.
6) Rotor should fall off and get replaced.
7) Reverse order to be able to drive your cherished 9k.
8) Offer a sacrificial lamb to Saabnet members and helpful lurkers
9) Come back with more questions and offer your 2cts whenever possible.
