Not that it helps you much, but the bearing on my idler pulley went (also have a 1997 900S 2.3l) and it seized and came off. One thing you should pay attention to: there was a change in idler pulleys halfway through the 1997 model year. I never found out what the change was (better bearings i can only hope), but i was told that you should check that you get the right pulley. Saab of San Diego gave me the "right" one, but I had to give them my VIN first. Of course Saab of SD is no longer a franchise, so I do not know how much credence I give the advice. Wish i could remember what the PN was for my pulley. Has anyone else been told of this idler change halfway through model year?
