My name is Gary and I have a passion for repairing and repurposing things as cost effective as possible. Here are some of my adventures while saving a buck. Enjoy!
Upgrading a Subscribers Saab 9-3!
In this video I work with Ethan, a fellow Saab enthusiast, to upgrade the interior on his 2007 Saab 9-3 to the one year only 60th anniversary seat set. In the process we even convert his manual passenger seat into powered. If you found this video helpful, be sure to like, share and subscribe!

I just did the job on mine. Whew. Thank you very much for your video. The one piece of advice that I would offer is that it is best to use a 1/4" drive for the rear bolts. This will allow just enough clearance to line up with the 13mm bolts on the straps. And most of the clips will release if you press them in the middle and pull. I only had to get medieval with one.
Is this actually the OEM "Member Kit" P/N 31359465 ? I have a 2015.5 XC60 T6 RD 3.0 and P/N 31359465 on volvo's website says it will fit without any modification.
Thanks man. Sitting here waiting for a week for a plumber to call me back. Think I'll tackle this myself now.
Does it read all modules? I have a clone of ds150e. It works but it can't communicate with several modules.
Thanks for the work tearing it down, saved me the time and sweat. Great video
I want these to mount light bars onto lol
What model of Ryobi drill where you using?
Daaang sounds like a diesel
What a creeper....i kept waiting for chris hansen to jump out😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for saving me money!
Simple not simplistic.
I have them....these are perfect.
So if it’s a 2WD we don’t have to do part 2?
Hello, where to order or under what name to look for such directions in the fender and did you have to modify anything?
We have this exact polesaw with this exact problem. This is crap. It's been used a couple of times and then quit.
Killer haul! 🤘 Fellow Columbus Saab enthusiast here, love the channel, keep up the great work and Saab on!
new sub. great vid. I'm looking at a 2015 cx60 w/4cyl turbo, why are these shifter's prone to cracking.. how does it happen?
They went through all that trouble and yet they left a perfectly good AMP1 sitting there. That's an easy $100 on eBay, I've sold several.
Is there a grounding strap that has one location under the battery? Said by 1Aauto, thatbit affects the abs system
Thank you for posting this. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why I couldn't unthread or find the set screw on my tub spout.
Great video, thank you. I'll be doing this to my OBS Tahoe asap!
What if the car is automatic? Cruise Control don’t work, only cruise light comes on
so what size air filter did you guy with i'm curious on doing this myself?
How long did it last?
3-7 Weeks
Hey, bud. Don’t consider this a bust. We learn through failure and are fortunate to share in yours without the expense and dirty hands :)
Thanks for posting this
why not simply go buy a new rear swing arm that is wider , or have your one made wider ? cutting metal off the caliper is DANGEROUS, and not to be advided, again if you want one with less thicknes then get a custom one made from titainium..... rather than cut metal off i would of puta jack in between the swing arm and jacked it out 1/8th inch each side..
I cant even eject DVD because there is something wrong with my mechanical componentes. I press eject button only hear sound trying but front wont open at all
I’m interested in those seats how much
Thank you so much! It worked on my compass 2012
As an Saab fan, I have been locking more on the 9-4x. Do you have any advice where to be look in the states?
Awesome video i believe i have the same exact problem on my arctic cat atv
Takes a big man to admit that he is wrong....I am not that big man. Good job...way to readjust and fix the problem. Looks good. Cheers!
Looks much better! Glad you stepped up to acknowledge help from viewers. You are a stand up guy. UA-cam is for helping others and we all might have suggestions. Enjoyed the follow up.
Just here to say you don't need windows xp you can use windows 10 at least for global tis.
For a supposed 30 yr old tank that puppy is clean. About 90% of that highly depends on the hardnesses and mineral content of your water.
Any area this is exposed to elements should be sprayed with a clear coat or a protective spray.
U didnt even use it right bro I'm pretty sure the emergency park brake maintenance you have to go to the hot key tab and when you put it in the Saab you never clicked on the read the VIN button so it can read your VIN
Heck yes this worked. 🎉
thanks for info, BUT doesn't work on chevy avalanche or trucks.
How long did the fuel low level work, I bet for maybe 2-3 tanks if it is the same float as I installed. If the cables are not gasoline resistant and will eventually fail again.
I had a stuck slip on spout... got the set screw out.. all he way out ... flipped it upside down sprayed lubricant in the screw hole and on the copper tube.. twisted it a bit.. and it came right off.
How do I connect end of the cable to a brake caliper? It's too short/very tight?
That's why you only use water from a water heater to clean with never to prepare food with
Any idea which is the ground for the fuel pump? My gague is dancing . Thank you
I have the same issue and heard that it's might be the air core stepper motor.
I am highly impressed with your investigation. Ryobi is certainly a brand that offers a lot of value, decent performance, a huge line up, and generally fairly priced. But sometime you have to wonder what the heck they were thinking, putting a fuse in this hidden, hard to get place like that. Hiding screws under a label ? Choosing to use a rivet to seal access to inner tube ? Really? It sure looks like they want you to replace the whole tool with a new one All this for a 1$ part ? Shame on you, Ryobi !
Ok thanks
Hey buddy I just seen this I'm looking for a 88 to 95 clutch pedal do you have a link to where I can get one at I really appreciate your time brother
Hey, I actually have one I'd be willing to sell. It needs a new clutch return spring but is complete. Feel free to send me an email at weakestofweeks@gmail.com or I'll eventually list it for sale on my ebay account: myolblue4x4
@@WeakestofWeeks I'll email you tomorrow brother I really appreciate it
I just replaced my power steering pump on my 9-3 4 cylinder (super easy)! I would like to install an inline filter (magnetic) to capture any particles left behind from the old grinding pump.
I always get hung up reinstalling the lock rings, not just Saabs but everything else too. There's gotta be a trick I'm missing. Great video though, ours died and we had to drop a half full tank
