It's something like 10 Euros. It's the best Saab tool purchase you'll make. The job can be done without it, but the swearing, grunting, potential of damaging the slave cylinder, and pain and suffering aren't worth trying to do without, or trying to improvise something. Spark plug wires, rope, cables, all that just doesn't do it. With the right tool, you put it in place, press the clutch pedal, and in my experience using it twice now, the tool expands out into the right position (no needing 4 feet, 3 arms, and a trained horse to help). It just works. Dave "Seriously. Go buy one, you'll not regret it." Hinz
