I advise using the offical tool for the new PP. A spark plug wire may be too thick, and you will overtravel the slave cylinder when replacing it (as me how I know this), thus destroying the seal on the slave.
You can pretty easily compress the fingers. There are several methods. The easiest involves using a hydraulic press.
Failing that, I assume you have a floor jack for the car (not the tire changing jack, but a real floor jack).
Place the PP on a board or other flat durface on top of the jack pad or hydraulic press (I use a flywheel). Place the Saab tool inside the edge of the PP where the fingers are. Using the old throwout bearing, and something like a 2x4 or large socket, compress the pressure plate. With the press, this is obvious. With a jack, try to jack up the car (I usually use the rear center jack point). The weight of the car is well more than the PP needs to compress. Slip the tool in place, and you're done.
