Welcome to Fixya

Here's the procedure on how to replace brake pads on your SAAB 900:

things you'll need:
Tire iron
Floor jack
Jack stands
Socket wrench
Rope
C-clamp

1. Loosen all of the lug nuts on the tires one rotation counterclockwise with the tire iron. Make sure that the car is in park, but do not set the parking brake.

2. Situate the floor jack under the axle of the vehicle and raise it until the tire is 2 inches off of the ground. Set the jack stand under the same axle to stabilize the car. Remove the lug nuts completely and remove the tire.

3. Remove the bolts that hold the brake caliper mounting bracket (the half moon shaped metal bracket on the rotor) to the rotor with the socket wrench. Tie the bracket to the wheel well with the rope so that there is no strain on the brake line (the black tube protruding from the back of the bracket).

4. Pull the brake pads out of the bracket with your hands. They easily slip out of the bracket.

5. Clamp the c-clamp onto the bracket. Set the stationary end of the c-clamp against the back of the bracket and the movable end against the brake caliper cylinder. The cylinder is in the center of the bracket. Compress the c-clamp until the caliper cylinder is flush with the bracket.

6. Insert the new brake pads into the slots where the old ones were removed from. They will simply slip in to the bracket.

7. Reattach the mounting bracket to the rotor. Set the wheel back on and tighten down the lug nuts by hand and lower the vehicle. Tighten all of the lug nuts with the tire iron once the car is lowered.

There's two fuel pumps, primary in the gas tank and a secondary pump under the car. Try using a jumper wire where the fuel pump relay plugs into to see if the relay is bad. Clean and adjust the airflow plate. Check for rust at the fuel distributor. And check for leaks in the plastic fuel lines from the fuel distributor to the injectors (wrap some paper towels around them and turn the key on to prime the system). Clean the terminals on the fuse panel and wiring harness junction blocks. Look here for more help http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/bb/900/

Yes your clutch assembly is gone.Without any second thought visit your garrage and get replaced along with the gear oil............sodeep

The serpentine belt routing should be labeled on your radiator shroud. Look around the engine compartment like the hood or radiator fram suport and there should be a label with the the belt routing.
Good luck and hope this helps

Look for a fuel reset. Not quite enough info on what is happening but I am going to take a leap of faith and assume it is turning over but not getting gas. Look in your manual for where the fuel reset is. Usually behind a foot panel in the front passenger side.

Your gears or maybe your car system needs to be fix

Appears as if it is located under the center console. Please let me know if you need any further assistance. https://www.6ya.com/eugene_aa01c1a9fa4c2ed9
