Not to be too hard on you but one question that comes up over the boards again and again is, can I do this job myself.
And people are chiming in, OH YEAH, it's dirt simple.
It's difficult to advice over the internet because we don't know the level of hands-on knowledge and what tools they have.
It is many here that do DIY repairs that are way over what some professional Saab mechanics are capable of out there and then it could be as easy (or difficult) as a little red clip.
Car manufacturers are all over them-self to come with yet another new and fantastic way to make a "wheel roll" and I don't know how many concoctions of electric connector clips I have seen and fought with trying to figure out the secret handshake to make them slide off.
Some are not even possible to not break due to that the plastic gets hard and brittle and the way they designed it, you break it doing it the right way.
The coolant temperature sensor is one of those designs that will break if you push it the right way so you have to very carefully pry it open just enough to slide it off the sensor. And then it might break when you push it back on.
