1. There are a lot of 18 mm bolts on a Saab. The 6 bolts that attach the transaxle to the engine are 18 mm. I think the nut for the tie rod,
where it attaches to the steering knuckle, is 18 mm, too.
2. Hope you have better luck getting the long bolt that goes through
the bottom shock mount and the sway bar free than I did. Those
tend to corrode on both the shock bushing and the bar bushing.
They are hellacious to remove. In fact, I ended up cutting them
free with my sawz-all. And, pressing the new rubber/steel bushings
into the sway bar was even worse - hope the SAS come with those
installed. I don't know why the factory doesn't apply copper anti-seize
compound to those bushings before they are assembled - how much
extra time and money could it be, and it would certainly make it
easier when someone else has to change shocks. Anyway, when
I reassembled my rear suspension, all those bushings got a good
coating of copper based anti-seize.
3. You might consider pulling the bolt that holds the panhard rod
to the axletube. It'll give you more room to get a 18 mm socket
on the bolt head that goes through the shock/bar mount.
