Just replaced mine 4 days ago with Eeuroparts Saab OEM's. Took all of 10 minutes to do both of them, by myself.
WARNING: If you attempt to do them alone, be carefull. The trunk is really heavy. I used two visegrips on each side to hold the trunk up, and CAREFULLY removed the sleave over the shock, and then immediately placed the new shock in position. Do this one side at a time, and it should be safe.
FWIW, if I were to do it all over again, I would add another safety device to the mix: a couple of 2x4's cut to length to hold up the trunk.
BTW, shocks arrived from Eeuroparts one day earlier than expected. The only problem I had with Eeuroparts was I could get the website to change from a single shock to 2 shocks, so I had to place two different orders of one shock each. But both shocks arrrived in the same box.
