I actually did the job on my parents' 9-5 but....

Much of the hard stuff is specific to the engine itself, and not the car. On the 9-5 I had to support the engine with a jack (with a sturdy flat piece of wood to distribute the force on the oil pan... cast aluminum kind of scares me), then remove the upper motor mount bracket. I was able to unbolt the power steering pump and leave all of the lines in place, as the PS pump is on the passenger side of the car, and so it doesn't fight you much. Honestly, once this is all done, you have a good view of what you need to do, and my previous tips are about all that would really help. I can say that reattaching the banjo bolt to the water pump was a PITA, because the line wasn't at the same orientation as the water pump, so it's hard to start the threads. You might be best loosening the other end at the turbo so there's more give. Also, getting the last washer onto the banjo bolt was very hard because it's so tight down there.... thank god for my magnetic pick up which I placed the washer with. Overall, the job kind of sucks, and you'll figure stuff out the way I did. As usual, I had to improvise and get creative.
