SAAB 9-3 Front End Rebuild: Disassembly of the Old Junk

In this video I show the detailed disassembly process of removing NG 9-3 (2003-2012) front brake calipers, pads, rotors, wheel bearings, sway bar end links, control arms, struts, and strut mounts. Car shown in video is my 2008 Saab 9-3 Aero with 314mm front brakes and rotors. Non Aero models will slightly differ but will be a similar process for most components. Be sure to like, share and subscribe to see the part 2 reassembly process! Links below.
