I think someone unfamiliar with the 9000 will have a much easier time if they remove the RF wheel and fender liner. It only takes ~10 minutes and gives full access to everything he needs to see and do.
If he has not done the serp belt on a 9K before he'll find it very different than other cars, even newer Saabs. I suggest printing out the procedure at the FixMySaab link below. It's not ideal, but covers the essentials. He especially needs to know about the left-handed threaded bolt, and how to keep the tensioner compressed. These are unique to the 9K, and note that people have broken off the left-hand bolt by turning it the wrong way, so this is NOT trivial info to provide.
If you decide to DIY, it takes an hour or so. It's an easy job, just pay attention to the belt routing, and change ALL the pulleys while you're in there.
