Oofaa!
Is this a job that a mere mortal such as myself can do or should I send her off to the pros?

have you ever done a timing belt? You could do it if you ahve a fellow mechanic that would give you a print-out from the directions to do it from ALLDATA or similar program.

Never done a timing belt on a Saab. (I've done a few boat engines before (timing chains), probably best left to someone that actually knows what they're doing.
Again, thanks for the heads up.

it's not difficult, if you ever done it on anythign else you'll be able to do it on a saab. You just need directions.

post up when you do get them. I'm sure the tensioneer is the most expensive part there, the belt is like $50
