I have changed out several. Posted by Steve Schwedland [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: a flexible shaft....what are we talking about here??, DET, Mon, 14 Jun 2004 18:16:46 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I have used a stubby and a long flexible phillips, one time I even removed the oil filter assembly (I wouldn't recommend that). The problem is that the screws get stuck on there pretty tight after a decade or so and they don't want to break loose unless the screwdriver is firmly seated, which is difficult to do given the angles and tight spaces.
The last one I changed, on my mothers '87 900TC two weeks ago, I grabbed a pair of needle nose vise grips and just clamped down as hard as I could, then twisted just to break it loose. I also moved the coolant tank out of the way, you don't have to dissconnect anything, just take the one bolt out and flip it over onto the top of the engine.
I generally try to find a couple of torx or hex head bolts when I put the new VR on.
Good luck, this always seems to make a big difference on older Saabs.
