Bought a new saab and new engine air filter. Went to install and it
looked like it was near the bumper. How do I acess this without taking
the skid plating apart? Thanks a lot. Jason

Saab 95 production ended in 1978, so you can't be asking about
a "'99 Saab 95".

If you are asking about the Saab 9-5:

* Make sure the car can not move (reverse gear + handbrake).
* Lay on your back on the ground with your head in front of the right
front wheel.
* Look up and find filter compartment.
* Remove four torx(tm) screws holding bottom of air filter compartment.
* Remove one hex screw holding right side of front spoiler and bend
front spoiler slightly to free bottom of air filter compartment.
* Remove bottom of air filter compartment.
* Remove air filter.
* Assembly is reverse of disassembly.

And if you ARE asking about a SAAB 95;

:-)

* open hood/bonnet
* loosen wingnut on top of air filter housing
* take off top cover
* replace air filter
* put cover back on
* close hood/bonnet

Replacing the cylindrical filter on my 9000 can be quite fiddly. The
cover sits between the front of the filter and the air hose. You have
to push the air hose back on itself to work the cover, this require
some streeeength. Leaning over the front wing while doing this, it is
advisable to cover the wing with a blanket to avoid your trouser
buttons scratching the wing.
