Any ideas? >SAABs are METRIC!!!!!! You blasphemer!!! Very funny, Rick and Lorie Mieras, but it is the Haynes UK manual (from Merrie Olde Englande) that bespeakes: Fig 2.5, Chapter 10: "Using a 13/16" spark plug socket and hex Allen bit to slacken the strut damper rod nut". And they're incorrect; at least on my '88 9000T, 13/16" does not fit. -- Ken Bell :: kenbellnopsamx.com :: (212) 475-4976 (voice)
