Pry off the kick panel. Then pry out the soft rubber cover that is under the kick panel that covers the opening. This will give you access to the back of the check link assembly. Remove the 1 bolt that holds the unit to the door and then remove the 2 nuts that hold the unit to the door jam. Reach in through the opening in the kick panel area to remove the old unit. Save the rubber seal, 2 nuts and 1 bolt. Insert the new unit through the opening in the kick panel area and hold in place. Put the rubber seal on and then put the 2 nuts on and tighten. Use pliers to extend the bar that attaches to the door and secure using the bolt. Replace the rubber cover and kick panel.

Do you need a special tool to change the hub assemblies on a 95 Saturn SL2?

Is this the front assembly or the rear? I can't say for sure on the rear, but on the front, you will need a very large socket for the nut at the outside of the hub assembly. I don't recall for sure, but I think it's like 30mm. Check before you buy a socket for it, as they are expensive. Also, you may want to have a pickle fork to break the ball joints loose up front. Aside from the large nut at the outside of the hub assembly, the largest wrench you will need is 19mm. If you can find a Chiltons manual for a Saturn SL, it will walk you through the entire process of removal and re-assembly. . Found this link to change a Saturn S-Series front hub. It worked perfectly as all the pictures were extremely helpful. I actually pressed new bearings into to the existing hubs which is not recommended by Saturn but worked out OK for me. http://www.xwarlordx.com/twin_cam/tech.html
