Buy a whole set of inverted torx sockets, E8 to E14
Drain coolant system. Remove plastic engine cover,air intake tube and airmass meter. Remove intake plenum with throttlebody, loosen fuel lines. Remove fuel injectors still attached to injector manifold, a little bit tricky to get the torx socket down there, (I think you can leave the very bottom part of intake manifold attached to the two cylinder heads) if not, that one have to come off too. Remove upper radiator hose. Loosen the bolt that holds the engine oil dipstick tube and engine lift eyelet, remove the lift eyelet.
Wiggle and pull the coolant tube that upper hose was attached to and take it out forward. Remove thermostat housing and thermostat.
Make sure to buy new intake gaskets and o-rings for the tube and thermostat housing. DON'T buy an after market thermostat (if they excist)
It's a couple of hours of labor for a professional Saab shop.
