Water pump replacement
Looking for a good tutorial for putting in a new water pump on my 2005 9-5 aero. Found a decent video on YouTube, but dude seems to be winging it. Along with instructions I am curious what additional parts other than, Hepu pump and gaskets/ orings do I need and any special tools?

Bought the car with 127500 miles, and am going change the serpentine belt while I'm in there. My question is, do you think I should replace idler pulleys while its open and if it's the short belt should I add missing pulley and put in the long belt?

It's a good idea to replace the idler pulleys at that age and mileage. Changing over to the long belt is an inexpensive improvement as well, even though it may be hard to notice much difference. Make sure to read the tips in this thread for changing the pulleys, sure made it much easier for me to replace: http://saabworld.net/f29/saab-9-5-2-...r-pulleys-712/

It's a fuel line tool "For parting the fuel line and tank ventilation", according to the WIS.
