Hi, I did this on 86 t 9k last week. The "peep" holes that are visible by looking straight at the control arm (those that face you) are only to hold the nut when you unscrew the bolt. The bolt is on the otherside of the control arm. The bolt did stick on mine,so I pryed it out with sticking a screwdiver into the "peep holes" and levering it out. My Al Bearing Sups broke on dissassembly (rather unexpectedely to me) so because I was doing the job to replace the Control Arm bushing, I sawed of the ends of the old bushing, creating perfect little rectangles (2 from 1 bushing) and just used those for the Supports. I am sure that is not the SAAB way, but I assure you that the Aluminium is Aluminium, and they fit perfectly and were already predrilled with holes.
I agree with ETS to change the control arm bushings is a good thing to do while you are there, but would like to add that changing the swaybar link (15 bucks at eeuroparts.com) is also a good idea.
Good luck
roman
