Jack up the right side of the car and locate the filter under the rear door,
next to the fuel tank. After 11 years and 156K km of
operation the original filter doesn't look particularly attractive.
Prepare a pan to catch the fuel that will leak out after you unbolt
the filter.

Fuel filter replacement on a 1995 Saab 900. The procedure is the same for
all 1994-1998 900 and 1999-2002 9-3. 9-5s are also very similar, except that
the filter is covered by a plastic shield.
Before starting the work, start the engine and pull the fuel pump fuse.
The engine will eventually use up all fuel in the lines, choke and stall.
This is needed to release the fuel pressure and prevent the petrol from
fountaining from the banjo fittings when you unscrew the filter.
Tools:
- 27 mm wrench: inlet side of the filter;
- 22 mm wrench: exit side of the filter;
- 19 mm socket: inlet banjo bolt;
- 17 mm socket: exit banjo bolt;
- Torx T30 socket: clamp screw;
- car ramps or jack and stands.
