I used the fork being careful not to damage the boot. Turned out I was okay on one side, but on the other side I guess I was overexcited, but I was definately not as cautious/cautious enough because I ripped it. The main issue was wiggling, prying, banging, etc. The actual insert and separation *can* be controlled enough to separate. But moving around, I eventually ripped both.
Regardless, I had ordered them "just in case" and had to install them. Seeing Saab's tool (WIS), reading/viewing other sites, and of course hindsite, I think I better understand how to "lever" them out without going near the ball joint boot (just inside the arm).
As for the bump stop, yes Dean, you are correct. In the pic, bottom-left facing is the end that goes "down" towards the ground and is ultimately the bump stop. I finally found a pair of the bump stop boot covers to replace my shredded one (top right in pic along with the ring "halves" -should be one solid unit - on the left). However, I was extremely worried about damaging the boots (took me a week to find replacements) and did not have a good way to get in to take off some of the bump stop. So I didn't. :o( Hopefully the travel is still okay (yes SE Springs), and I can figure out some way to do it.
Thanks.
Sean
