...so much for that idea of opening a Saab shop...hehe.
JohnK, I never looked to see about taking off the whole A/C bracket... I had just read the posts about those 6mm hex bolts and them being hard to get out... mine were too... sounds like a good idea now... dammit.
I'm confident I could do it in an afternoon now that I know the tricks, but I will never subject myself again to that hell.
I'm definitely gonna wuss out on the steering rack. Exhaust manifold gasket looks like a real joy, but (knock on wood) it's ok so far. I've actually successfully done that repair (twice) on a '78 99.. made my own gasket too! But that manifold was very convenient to get to... I did it with an adjustable wrench and some scissors. Very different story on the 900 I see.
Glad I at least made you guys feel good with my ineptitude.
