This is a great video -- very well done and gives an honest feel for what it's like to do at home. Also, really makes the case for getting an electric impact!

My dad has a nice corded one, it's a lifesaver

Thanks again for the video. I changed both left and right driveshafts in the past two weeks. This helped me do it right.

mechanical genius that never did this before.........this made this change a snap........thanks for the visual help!

Wouldn't it be a good idea to put a little anti-seize on the driveshaft splines prior to installation to make removal a little easier?

Excellent video. Very helpful. Thanks and looking forward to similar videos!

Thanks for such a great video. Answered all my concerns and I feel well prepared to fix my sisters car! I’m going to check for the part on your business website. Thanks!

Great video. Thanks. I always wondered what the passenger side axle looks like in the intermediate shaft.

and as every DIYer needs...a 5lb sledge at all times.

Really useful - thank you.

Thanks for the great video it really helped my buddys and me replaced mine

Thanks for the video, I need to do it om my Saab

Very well presented.

I need you around to work on my SAAB 93. Great work

SInce those splines can be quite tought to losen, I ALWAYS first remove the axle nut with the car still sitting on the ground and break the splines lose before jacking the car and any other disassembly.

whew, man really thanks a whole for the video, was a big help for this project. I plan to do drivers side next week. My wife owns an 03' 95 so this video worked perfect for me. So yeah nobody here in lynchburg even sells an e20 inverted torx! I managed to bust em with a 16mm but wow it took a lot of torque. I ended up replacing those bolts to something i will actually have a tool for lol. any videos on a/c compressor replacements? Thanks again i will definetly be subscribing

some 16mm sockets/ also have label e20 on them so those work with e20 and 16mm hex- bolt heads.

When installing the new axle, it's not a good idea to hit the axle with the hammer which can damage the threads on the axle. Use the old nut on the axle and you won't damage the threads. The new nut is a lock nut which should thread on at least half way by hand then gets tight where the oblong portion of the nut is.

Good, thanks for that. Now, its been 4 years, how about doing one on swapping the auto gear box on a 9.5 ?

Are there snap rings on the transmission side of the shaft in an ‘06? I can’t seem to get mine off.

I didn't see any real reason to remove the caliber , looks like there was plenty of room to remove the lower ball joint

I’ve front antibroll bushes that are stiff that I expected was a noise noticed since started driving after covid lockdown but now wondering if it’s the shafts sounds like a broken spring but they aren’t.

Great videos! I just purchased a 2000 SAAB 9-3 convertible turbo manual trans.. What would be the best combination to lower and fill my wheel wells? I have seen 18 inch wheels but no lowering videos...Hopefully you know best!

Does the right side / passenger cv axle have to snap in ? I put in its easily taken out if i pull it out It feels like it clicks on but that happens when i put it in

what wheels are those?

What is the model of those rimms? Looks amazing

Thanks for this great vid!! I am getting a creaking sound, first it was when turning right and accelerating. Now it is also happening when moving from stop/low speed to some acceleration( all this I can only hear at low speeds, could be happening at higher speeds, not sure). Is this because of CV/Axle joint issues or what else could it be? Any insight is much appreciated. Thank you.

did you find out what it was?

I have a 1999 9-5, can you advise how the process is different? Maybe a diagram, links if not able to film it for YT? Also what is the part for the 99 vs for your later machine? I am seeing listings some of which have axle shafts out both ends, some of which have a tripod joint on the inside. Which to order? What difference? Also if you lose ATF on the driver's side, is it reasonable to catch it in a basin and re-add? I heard that there might be a conflict on what fluid to use and that different fluids don't mix.

Those pipes on the wall ... where do they go, what do they feed/drain ?

if the CV joints are gone, will it make a crackling sound when turning and accelerating at low speeds? i feel like i've changed all other joints on the front of the car.. cannot figure this out.

Kjeksy yes...loud clanking sound. Almost like a clap.

I would have the nut protecting the end of the axle if hitting with a hammer like that.

Was tapping the cv axle necessary? Normally it just snaps into place

Is this the same procedure for a 07 9-5?

I have a 2004 Saab 95 and just changed the cv axle that was just about to break, but on the wheel hub bearing, I didn't get the wheel hub bearing replaced cause that bad boy was stuck in there like it was pressed in. I'm gonna give it another try when I do the other side cv axle. Any advice on how to get it out, or should I just take off the hole hub and take it to a machine shop and let them do it? Thanks for any help.

Did you get the hub out? I just did mine and it was also had to get loose, there is about 10mm where it can be hard to drive out, but i just hit it from the inside going out, and then also hit it on both sides to make it free the rust. It comes out with the brake shield.

So entire work shall take less than 30 min?

I did not use a impact I just kicked it and it came off I'm guessing that's bad

Will the process of a Saab 93 Aero be similar to this? Thank you

Safety glasses, lots of heat, and a big hammer. The sharp shock is usually more helpful than the slow torque application of a puller on stuck and rusted parts. Soak the mating surfaces in penetrating oil first, just remember to have good ventilation when applying heat by means of torch.

Yes, virtually identical.

I did this and had MAJOR clicking when I went to test drive it. (couldn't make it more than 1 foot before it sounded like it was breaking the car, so left it there) I imagine I didn't hammer the axle into the transmission hard enough (I just pushed fit it by hand). HOPING I didn't break any threads in the transmission area, hoping if I broke anything, it was the axle. (only $80 and pretty easy to replace)

Definitely double check everything is situated correctly and that nothing is binding up. It is possible the axle is defective. If you bought it at eEuroparts.com, contact us to set up a replacement return under our new Parts for Life program, which is a limited lifetime warranty on nearly all parts we sell!

Use a piece of wood between the hammer and axle or a kind of soft headed hammer to spare the joints.

Is that a 3lb hammer you are using or a 5lb hammer? Looks like a 3lb

Based on the year, I wouldn't think that your lights are xenon. But I have the same problem with my 08 9-5 aero xenon headlights. Based on my research and speaking with a local Saab automotive technician, the ballast is what needs to be replaced for each headlight, which I think is only for xenon headlights. I have read the seals break around the ballast and that allows moisture into it which makes sense based on the flickering when I accelerate, break, go over bumps, I can just picture small water droplets moving around inside the ballast causing all sorts of quirky electrical problems, which my car has. But I've also read it could be the voltage regulator in the alternator, which I just replaced a couple days ago and haven't noticed the flickering yet, but I expect it to show up soon. Sorry I can't tell you where the grounds are as I don't know anything about cars really. I'm learning as I go on my Saab. But I would think anything metal on the engine would be considered a ground, but don't quote me on that. Do more research on that:)

Weird. I wish I could give you a good idea. I gather you havent tried to clean the connections yet? Maybe that will be the fix when you do that. Do they flicker when you try other high demanding electrical things, like defrost, seat heaters, ac? If so, have your alternator checked. Also try to look at your positive battery cable for corrosion, especially where it connects to the alternator down below. I've read that the cables can corrode on the inside where it's hard to see the corrosion which causes the current to not be reached and causes heat to build up. I just replaced mine cuz I've had 3 alternators go out in the last 2 years. I saw melting at the connection point to the alternator this time which means too much current is going thru too little cable and heating up. All of this is my theory, cuz like I said Idk anything about cars really. I'm still a beginning learner even tho I'm an old fart

I install car sound systems so I'm about to do what's called the big 3 upgrade and I'll be running 2 new 0gauge lines from the alternator and new 0gauge grounds to the engine and frame plus 0gauge ground for the alternator. So after that is upgraded next spring I'll upgrade all the rest of the grounds to 0 gauge wire.

It might be possible, but in general it would be much easier to just buy one already equipped. AWD 9-3's are very low in price right now compared to the cost it would take to buy the parts separately.

Use impact sockets with impact tools and wear safety glasses!!!

Arggh… PLEASE do not use a scaffold pole for tightening nuts. It damages bearings, etc.

Too bad that Axle is of POOR quality . Rebuilding (clean /grease/ reboot) the original axle is FAR better AWARE?? that the outer CV joint is designed to be separated (C CLIP) to make servicing of it painless. NO need to remove the axle.
