16.08.2005: Lower rear nuts
There are two nuts attaching the rear mount to the subframe from below. On my car one of the nuts was 16 mm and another 17 mm. I'm not sure if this is always the case, so be prepared.

Engine mount replacement on the 1996 Saab 900. The old mounts were severily worn and broken, which caused excessive engine movement and shifting difficulty at high boost. To firm things up further, the transmission mount has been upgraded with a sport polyurethane mount from Taliaferro.

Tools:

  • 17 mm socket (rear mount);
  • 16 mm socket (rear and transmission mounts);
  • 15 mm socket (side mounts);
  • 13 mm socket (gearshift linkage);
  • 10 mm socket (throttle body inlet, plastic shields);
  • 8 mm socket (plastic shields);
  • 8 mm Allen socket (passenger side mount);
  • two L-shaped 3 mm Allen keys;
  • long socket extension;
  • ratchet handle;
  • torque wrench;
  • flat screwdriver (throttle body clamps);
  • hydraulic jacks and stands.
