(2003-2012) Saab 9-3 Emergency Brake Cable Replacement

In this video I replace the emergency brake cable on my 2008 Saab 9-3 Aero. This same process works for both sides on 2003-2012 Saab 9-3’s (sportcombi and convertibles will be slightly different). Be sure to like, share and subscribe!

Great explanation. Nice video. Thank you!

I did this, but my new cable was really thight. I have tried adjusting it but only got it to the point where the pads are barely gripping the disc when handbrake is down. Not a huge issue, but heat builds up on longer trips. Got any tips?

Great explanation and details! Shouldn’t you have tried to turn the wheel in the same direction forward when checking the E-Brake was engaged or does it matter? Thanks
