16.08.2005: Rear mount nut
The nut itself is 16 mm. Unfortunately, there's very little room to get to it and apply proper leverage, that's why a long extention works better. I've also disconnected the gearshift rod from the linkage to get more freedom in lifting the engine. If you do that, don't forget to align it afterwards.

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.
