I think members of this forum, many of whom are quite skilled shade tree mechanics, might find this blog
SAAB JOURNAL
worth reading some evening. The writer, Jack Ashcraft, rebuilds V4 Saab components. He has postings going back to 2010.
What I found most interesting was how, rather than clamp and damage an item in a vice, he'd fabricate holding jigs for the items he repaired.
He's a mechanic, in the strictest sense of that word, and not a mere parts replacer.
His writing is quite good and the blog entries are well-illustrated with photos.
Those old V4 Saab 95 and 96 models are very much cult cars, and very much rebuildable items. One can keep 'em going forever, much like many members of this forum plan to do with their Gen 3 4Runners.
