For those who have not had the experience of a loose upper engine mount bolt, it can be a challenge to get to the nut on the back side. Here's a wrench that will make your life a bit easier. Hope this helps someone.

Which Saab do you have? Are you in the Saab club? My best friend has a 67 96 monte carlo that belonged to his late father. 850 2 stroke.

I have a 2000 9-3 SE and a 2000 Viggen . The Viggen was a Family friends car who recently passed . I've almost got it roadworthy . No clubs yet . I like these weird little cars .

Nice idea, I used to use a shorty wrench. Mine would snap about every 5 thousand miles. After I put a regular washer on the left side, bolts stopped breaking. I used one from Home Depot not the stupid factory half washer.
 
Box-end flex head ratchet works too. I've had to replace these bolts in hotel parking lots - anything to make it easier. We had an inmate on our work crew that stole a Saab - not a very common car - wrecked it and found another Saab within walking (limping) distance with the keys in it and stole that one too.

Lol , he must have had one before . Most folks cant figure out where the ignition is ( on the center console) or if its manual , how the damn reverse lockout works ( removed on both mine ) .

I've only driven one Saab. The 67 is world's apart from anything I have ever experienced. Tiny 2 stroke engine. Four on the column. Has an option to freewheel. Totally flat floor. There's a tube that runs to the distributor to provide fresh air. Without that, they had been known to explode.šŸ˜³ 43 made.
