the lower shock nut needs to be unbolted from the lower control arm and the shock pulled off the lower control arm, its self explanatory.
about the axle nut i took it totally off even before the car was raised in the air, while im there why go back, the road wheel bolts need to be loosened just a tad before the car is raised then finish the extraction after the wheel is in the air. im going to go over the hole processes in my head to make sure everything was hit.... let me think a minute....that......yup.... oh compress the spring before attempting to remove the lower ball-joint bolts,..(thinking)....ok......ummm.......yup.....oh, you might need a minny sludghammer just in-case the axle dont want to slide out of the steering knuckle, if this happens while holding the assembly up and out, with the other hand smack the end of the spindle (axle, the end the 32mm nut was screwed to) with one good hit, it should then slide right out,....(thinking)...... yup thats it.
dont have to much fun.

i haven't been over to twinsaab site to read what they got to say, if i got a problem ill just ask the 900bb here on saabnet and go from there.
one tip though asking for advice here, might want to watch out what that nicknick has to say,......(thats one nut)....................... oh im just joking, i was going to end the post with that being said and see how much crap nicknick would give me but i cant do that,
but back to the subject, i heard people removing the, caliper, brake pads, upper and lower ball joint, you know making more work than whats required. i just look at it as they want to play with all the nice shiny bolts.
ok im done writing
