Sadistic Saab Engineers?

I just did this last night. On mine, there is no way to remove the old one without cutting the wires. They must have routed the wires before they put on the alternator because the connector on the old one was too big to get back through the opening between the engine and the Alt. So I had to cut the wires. I routed the new one a slightly different way.
Also, the 02 sensor wire is attached to the lower AC mounting bracket which is next to impossible to remove and get back on. And when you drop the bolt...and you will....it likes to disappear. Once again I ask "sadistic saab engineers?"
As for difficulty, it took me about an hour, and that was taking my time and making sure everything was routed correctly and included about 15 minutes of trying to figure out how to get the old one out. But it's done, none-the-less. Good luck to you.
BTW, I paid $125 on EEuroparts.com That was the best price I could find.
