Ted, re-reading my post in the above thread I think I gave a threads-per-inch number that's wrong, should be 1/2-13 for NC, but thread count doesn't matter, either 1/2 NC, 1/2 NF, or M12 nuts should all be about big enough to lift things enough.
Glad you've discovered it and glad you are as big a fan as I am of it.
Remove every other one of the pressure plate bolts, back the other 3 off till almost out, pry pressure plate up (NO force needed, should lift right up) and slide one fat 1/2"NC nut in under each forged ear of the pressure plate where it pokes out of its pressed steel backing, just at the point where a strap is riveted that links forged part to the pressed steel backing. Set it so head of rivet drops down into center of nut holding it in place. Turn flywheel till all 3 are in place, and then tighten down the 3 remaining pressure plate bolts. That will cause spring fingers to depress and let you slip the bucket handle or special Saab ring tool into place to hold them depressed.
Then unbolt, picking up your 3 nuts as you do, and extract pressure plate, clutch disk, and slave cylinder with throwout brg. (unbolted earlier). I like a magnetic extension tool I bought, for putting nuts into place and retrieving them.
