I did a hybrid repair. I used the fixmysaab.com technique but instead of pulling the axle from the outer CV, I pulled the inner tripod bearing with a 3-jaw puller. It worked the best for me. I tried removing the axle but it was stuck. The tripod bearing came off easily once I figured out the puller. You really have to reach around all the jaws to keep them hooked. This repair takes longer than you think but it can be done in a day. Cleaning and making things neat take time. The worst part was the uppermost strut bolt; both sides were stuck like mad. And a quick tip: when tightening the tie rod end, use a long pry bar to pull down on it or it will spin and never tighten.
