on the fixmysaab page, his comment was that it would be a fight because the shock would spin. sure, that would be a problem if you put vice grips on the shock itself because it's too smooth + hard for them to grip... the tip of the thread is a hex for a reason... I suspect many don't notice it's hex + think it's round because of all the rust... really should only ever use vice grips on something you'd throw away... in this case the locknut...
fwiw, I had no trouble removing the top bolts on a 1993 c900 also (there it's 2 bolts tightened to lock, no lock nut)... those had been exposed to 18 years of salt! key is to soak in liquid wrench overnight though...
