Spent morning injecting Bilt Hamber cavity wax into my 2005 Saab Aero convertible 9.3 - outside coated with Waxoil so hoping won’t need to replace 🙏 have done the same to front sub frame I know front subframes are available from Saab outlets as manufacturing again - rear have seen on E Bay new for about £300? Glad I saw your video - otherwise would not have looked !

Hi Palle, thanks for watching, it took about 6 hrs in total to complete, i dropped as much of the suspension as i could and then used a disc cutter to remove the bolts that were totally seized, the rest were welding plant to remove then fitted new, the two links with the rose joint in them are much easier to fit if you chase a die up and down the thread, they spin less when refitting. Thanks Rick

@@halemotors4084 Thank you for the fast and informative replay. Two sentense i do not quite understand: The rest were welding plant to remove? And "chase a die" up and down the thread? Kind regards Palle Schnell I should like to send you a picture from the EPC of the Rear Axle, All of the parts on the rear axle are shown on that picture. But I cannot paste the picture to this place

@@halemotors4084 Thank you once again! Now I know what you mean by Die and Tap. Tools for making or refreshing a thread, a die for the bolts and a tap for the thread holes. And the welding plant is used for heating up the seized bolts. Which is not possible to do on the car as the petrol tank is close to the subframe/rear axle. I suppose that you now the Saab Wise program and the EPC (Electronic Part Catalog)? Kind regards Palle

Im in the planning process of rebuilding the whole rear axle by taking one complete axle from another car and making it brand new before dropping my old one from the car. Any comments on the whole removal part? As I see it, 1. calipers off, 2. swingarm bolts off, 3. subframe bolts off - would you say thats the order of removal? Ive done front subframes but not the rear one on this car. One of the front subframe bolts was a bitch to get off - ended cutting it, was so rusted - were there problems taking the big bolts out on the rear axle aswell? As in, should i buy the induction heater upfront, so there would not be any downtime with the car, as I only have a weekend to get it back on the road. Thanks

Hi! I would say lots of the bolts were seized so have a new set to hand if you only have the weekend to do it, easy enough to remove , have a disc cutter ready to chop through the bolts, you wont know what is siezed until you try so i would make sure which bolts arent tight in the bushes the weekend before so you can order new ones if needed. Thanks Rick
