Yes, you can push the piston back with a c-clamp or whatever, no special tool is needed. As for the DI, it's held down by 4 Torx 30 screws and the plug on the end is released by pulling the red collar out and pulling off at the same time. You might want to note that saab recommends replacing the spark plugs at the same time as the DI.
