I've done struts on a half dozen different cars. Most you could do without the book. I would not suggest anyone do this with a Saab NG900 unless you have done lots of struts before. Get the book, read the procedure, buy the tools you need to supplement your collection, plan a day to do it. It takes 2 hours a side, even if you know what you are doing. First timers should plan a day and a backup day in case you need parts or tools.
