knowledge of at least 3 tricks of the Saab trade. i dont recall if Bentley covers any of the tricks.
is the alt cocked sideways at all? mount bushings could be shot. maybe you just need a new regulator- the brushes wear down.
that's an easy fix compared to yanking the whole alt...
for Alt r and r, A/C compressor has to come off (not an easy job itself), coolant reservoir off makes it easier, the belts of course, then getting the alt off the bracket is a job and a half and requires 1/2 inch thick hands and spagetti-thin fingers plus some tools.
if you have time and space, go for it and post back here or search for tips (or go to Townsend site for blow-by-blow how to). you'll learn alot. maybe consider doing water pump at same time if its overdue, as well as alt. mount bushings and support arm bushings.
