Well after getting a lot of things set up so I could swap driveshafts between the donor car and my 900S, I couldn't get the bolts holding the brake caliper on the 900S to come free, and since I needed to get up to the SCCA meeting last night I aborted the whole process and put my car back together enough so it could transport me to Chatswood. The outer CV survived but it's getting more and more noisey so next week I'm going to take it to RoadHolder Suspension at Kirrawee (Sydney, .au) to get fixed. They're a suspension/steering specialist which was recommended to me and they quoted me a price several hundred $$ cheaper than Saab Serve to fix the outer CV joint. So a lot of effort didn't produce the result I'd wanted, but I did learn how to take apart the caliper assembly to remove (and replace) the brake pads, and I did make some home-brewed suspension spacer tools (which I showed to SCCA members at last night's meeting). So it wasn't all bad, but the CV issue still it's dealt with. 8-) The CV saga page will be updated later today: http://nospam/~c900/cv.html Regards, Craig. -- Craig's Saab C900 Page --> http://nospam/~c900 Sydney, NSW Australia Craig's Saab C900 Workshop -- For all Saab C900 Enthusiasts world-wide! http://www.nospam.net http://www.nospam c900nospam.apana.org.au Come and explore our site, and check out our web-forums, mailing list, etc.
