I'm all for conservative maintenance... but, since there's no test for it, and 99% of owners don't know that they burst spontaneously over 50K miles (meaning that used cars usually have the original), I consider it required. You can't tell when they are going to go, and if they break, you call a tow truck. This is one of the top "it went and stranded me" posts on the NG900. When I hung around the Saabnet BBS, there were monthly posts of woe. Saab eliminated this pulley in later 9~3 designs (testimony to its problems). If you don't change the belt, you can replace the pulley with a single socket wrench in about 10 minutes. (You can check the belt for wear if you don't want to replace that).
