I own the Saab timing belt installation tool (made by Kent-Moore) and did a head gasket replacement on my 1994 900 S V6. Since the belt is so critical and the cause of catastrophic failure, I would not recommend trying to install the timing belt without such a tool. It is tricky even with the tool! And the instructions in the Saab engine manual assume you have the tool. The part number for the tool is given in the manual. The installation tool costs around $350; I ordered it from Meyer Saab in Iowa.
According to SWEDECAR (Anders) there is an aftermarket version of the tool that fits a few different cars that costs somewhat less. Search for posts by SWEDECAR in the last few months. I don't remember how much that one costs or who makes it.
If you do the job, you probably already know this, but replace things with the timing belt "kit". (Part numbers in the archives.) It is the belt, the tensioner assembly, and the idler pulley; list is around $380.
Good luck, Derek
