voltage regulator was failing a few months ago, so I ordered it from eeuroparts and set out. Finding the 2 alternator bolts were difficult enough, not to mention that getting a hex bit breaker bar on them was quite difficult (easier after tensioner/pulley removed, but no one told me that one). After it was free, I still am wondering how I could have actually removed it from the engine compartment. I ended up using long arms and a few prayers to change the regulator out while the alternator was down in the hole. There wasn't clearance to fully remove the alternator.
I have come to love my saab, but I hope I don't have to work on the alternator again any time soon.
