That, is just so the a-arm doesn't go too far down with spring pressure. Chunk of 3/4" thick plywood worked for me. > and having to remore a cover(?) before > pulling the whole shaft out.

How about this - find your local A1 Driveshaft or whatever in the yellow pages, and ask them if they have a wrench they deal with often. Nothing unique to Saab on that particular job. 250 bux for a used part which could fail at any time seems high, but you could probably get a rebuild _and_ installation for that. The rebuild shop will know someone; they may even do it themselves. Let us know what you end up doing so we have more information for the next guy to ask, please. Dave Hinz
