Yes, more difficult. Well, for starters, you'll have to unbolt the steering rack so as to make room for the front swaybar installation. Those bolts are seriously tight. To remove them you'd be wise to use either a breaker bar, or a 1/2" rachet and 19mm socket. Then you might even need a piece of pipe extension for leverage to loosen those nuts - while laying on your back under the engine. I even had to undo the tie rod ends from the steering knuckle for additional rack wiggle room. No easy chore there unless you have a 2lb hammer and aren't afraid to use it. All in all I rated the front bar installation an 8 on a 1-10 brutality scale. (engine mount, clutch and exhaust system replacements are a 7 on my scale) Of course, I also had to drill the mounting holes, which was half the chore. I can't say no to a new car related challenge, which is why I did mine. A textbook rear bar installation has it's own set of rules to follow, none of which I followed because I didn't have the right equipment to enable an easy install. Consider having an independent SAAB mechanic do it for you if you at all have doubts.
