What makes it difficult is being 70 and NOT remembering how it went with another identical unit about 8-9 years ago. Also I did not move car to a level and hard surface as the previous one, and had to use scaffolding instead of a real engine hoist. A few difficult things. driver side long through bolt did not clear the oil filler tube, the pass side engine mount rear bolt was tough to get to and all were really tight. JB Blaster the turbo to down pipe nuts, drain the power steering as stated in directions, Have about six solid cap blocks 3 for each side and a section of 2x4 for the top of the blocks, to place just behind the front jack points. I'd leave the jack point open in case you need to jack car more with floor or Saab jack I had jack stands but blocks worked better as I was in the grass. disconnect everything the book says to disconnect, then expect to find something else. I took off the front cross member the rad etc connects to. Just easier and it was no longer going to be reinstalled again. Good luck. Even though I have a exercise routine I still had a few sore muscles. Good luck, and if you don't have a helper friend , get one.
