I've never changed a joint on my SAAB...there may be something that makes it different from what I have worked on (jeep/MGB) but...
if you are going to replace the joint, use the pickle fork (just aim it right so you can get a proper swing with a 2-4# hammer. About the only thing I think you can damage is the rubber boot and that is replaced with the joint. unless the fork gets loose...
I've also heard of applying some pressure to the stud and whacking the eye thru which the stud passes (pitman arm, etc) on two sides with heavy hammers simultaneously. Works well if you have 3-4 hands and you're not flat on your back under the car, I'm told<G>
