If you do diagnose it as the HB (do the painted line across the back face of the pulley to see if it separates - but first you have to take off the a/c belt and pulley ring that is bolted to the HB face), it is a DIY given the jobs you've tackled. Jeff and Royces instructions (along with Saabtech/Tom Townsend) really help. Toughest items are grinding down a socket to fit the bolt (and allow clearance for the torque wrench - i didn't have to grind it with just my breaker bar to remove) and locking the flywheel. I got the flywheel tooth lock from a Saab dealer ($15 or so) and also had to use a length of pipe slid over my breaker bar to crack the bolt loose. I wasn't comfortable with the "starter kick" removal technique via Townsend. While there, replace the oil pump o-ring and crank seal. They're only a few bucks and will leak right after the job anyway if you don't replace them (murphys law).
Good luck - write back with questions if and when you get into this. By the way, it's a $400-600 job at an indy shop typically.
