And how's your time vs. money ratio?
If you have the time and patience to work slowly, do a few pre-soaks with PB Blaster, EZ Koil, etc., Maybe use a torch on the nuts, then you might be OK. But you have to go in knowing that it can get gnarly. Get all your parts & tools in advance.
$500, if it's parts and labor, probably isn't too bad if it's a place you trust and knows how to work on Saabs. But any good shop will cover themselves if you ask for a quote, because they know what can go wrong. It's not a fast job -- probably 4-6 hours at $75.
