Thanks for all suggestions. The one from MH seems to be the most useful, under the circumstances. I am going to try putting bolts and nuts on the slave (and maybe the pressure plate) to try to compress it. It is useful to know that if the tines are not flat, you are not compressed enough. I did not see such a guideline before. I may also buy the real SAAB tool and try pressing one tine at a time. Dave Hinz' IV method of bleeding the clutch works well and my only addition (this is the third time I've used it) is don't throw out the bulb on the turkey baster, it can cover the "reservoir" when not in use and can be used afterwards to suck the dirty fluid from the reservoir. I will let you know how it works out and I will pass my comments and pictures on to FixMySaab.com! Charles.
