Message from Deno Gualtieri <denono39sdcx6spamx782optonline.net>
Subject: Given a Saab 96 - Now What?
------------------
Greetings from a newbie to the digest and to older Saabs. I have just
been given a Saab 96 to test my engineering mettle. The car appears to
be mostly all there. This is what I know;
It appears to be very solid and must have been repainted. The rubber
seals around doors, hood and trunk are gone. It is missing some small
trim such as the chrome? slats at the front.
The clutch and brake pedals are on the floor boards and appear to be
stuck there. The serial # looks to be 177694. I have no idea as to what
year it is. It has a three cyl motor and a column mounted shifter. The
interior is in very good shape for a 40? year old.
The owner was a work associate who passed away 6 years ago. I think he
owned the car for at least 4 years prior, but never had it on the road.
He may have had a new or rebuilt motor put in it. I have a folding
wooden crate that came from Saab that looks to be the correct size for
shipping a motor.
So the big question is how do I start the renewal of this auto? Can
anyone direct me to a good manual source and part source? I live in SW
Connecticut if there is anyone in this area who may want to give me a
yell.
BTW The car must be unhappy with its new home. Two days after sitting
for 10+ years and being trailered to my place, it blessed my driveway
with a stream of antifreeze.
Thanks in advance,
Dino

Subject: Hall Effect Sensor 91 9000 CD
------------------
The hall effect sensor has gone south in my 91 9000CD because of the belt
braking and taking out the sensor. Do I have to use the same year or can
any year be used from a 9000 with DIC? How about one from a 900?

Don't want to spend the $150 from a dealer for a new one.

Thanks in advance.

> Anyone know how to remove the crank shaft pulley on 9000

You need a 27mm socket ('90 and earlier model-years need a 30mm), and a
breaker bar, preferrably at least two feet long.

If you have a 5-speed manual (doubtful in a CD 4-door model), you can get
away with putting it in gear and having an assistant stand on the brakes
while you loosen (and later tighten) the crank pulley bolt.

If you have a 4-speed auto, you need to improvise a ring-gear blocking tool
that will fit through the timing inspection window in the tranny bellhousing.
This is needed to keep the crank from turning while you're trying to turn the
pulley bolt. You're lucky you have a '91, because from '94 onwards there was
no timing window, so the only way to block the ring gear was to remove the
starter and work through that hole (or butcher the bellhousing by drilling
holes in it).

Another way to loosen the pulley bolt is to set the breaker bar and socket on
it and crank the starter for a second. It may take a couple of bumps to get
it loose, but it almost always works. Be sure the breaker bar is not hitting
something that can break. Unfortunately, this trick doesn't help you avoid
proper ring gear blocking when you get to tightening the bolt.

Looking at the crank pulley, try not to turn the crank counter-clockwise.
It's not healthy for the timing chain system.

David.
